National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) needs your help – cuts in funding have left NAHJ with a $300,000 budget shortfall

I rec’d this via an e-mail via facebook

Subject: FB, NAHJ Needs Your HelpEven though we tried to outrun the recession, it has caught up to us.

We trained hundreds in multimedia journalism just last month alone. Scholarship checks for students are going out now for the fall. With counseling, training and job referrals, every day we help Latino colleagues keep alive their dreams of staying in journalism. But it’s clear that NAHJ’s programs and services are now in jeopardy unless we all do our part.

Like many other organizations in today’s economy, cuts in funding have left NAHJ with a $300,000 budget shortfall. But we’re facing that challenge head on with our Count Me Iñ campaign to close that gap.

We know times are tough, but can you make a donation to NAHJ? Can you raise money for NAHJ? Maybe you can do both. Either way, you are a crucial part of NAHJ’s resolve to help Latino journalists reinvent themselves and prevail in this new media landscape.

NAHJ needs to raise $300,000 before December 15, 2009.

Can you raise at least $200 for NAHJ? Can you do more? For example, if every member of the NAHJ FB group (973) raises $200, that adds up to $194,600. Imagine what we could do together!

Please consider giving an amount that is significant to you. Tell your friends (especially those on your FB page) to support us too.
