Here at VTDigger, we strive to produce the best news in Vermont. During this year’s annual fund drive, we will bring you the voices of our supporters – the VTDigger champions who help make our news possible.

Paul Ralston Owner of Vermont Coffee Company

OK, OK, I’m a news junkie.  It’s not a problem really; I just want to be well informed.  I need deep facts from reliable sources written with clarity – and perhaps a certain élan.  And yes, I want Vermont news, Vermont stories, Vermont edito rials.  I get all that from VTDigger.  I support Digger because something this good needs financial support all year long. –  Paul Ralston

In addition to being a news junkie, Paul is the owner of Vermont Coffee Company and a former Vermont state representative for Addison-1. Long a supporter of VTDigger, Vermont Coffee Company has been an underwriter since 2013 and you drink their brew at all our events. They are also responsible for the successful challenge you met earlier in the week!

We are proud that Paul is a VTDigger Champion!

Paul is giving away a free pound of Vermont Coffee Company coffee for gifts of $75 or more (or $5 monthly). If you, like Paul, like to wake up to the news by reading VTDigger, while drinking a hot cup of your favorite java, please take advantage of this limited time offer.

Be a Digger Champion.  Support nonpartisan, in-depth reporting

VTDigger reaches deep into the issues, both at the statehouse and within our communities. We need your help to continue to bring you the reporting that you deserve, without fear or favor. We are here because of you.

Thanks to the generous contributions from our readers, we have raised $116,528 toward our end-of-year goal so far. But we still have $233,472 to raise to meet our budget.

Help us to reach our goal before the end of the year!  We can do this work because of you – Vermonters of all stripes coming together to support the power of journalism at a time when readers need excellent local reporting that makes a difference in our state.
