Dear Readers:
Every day we listen to Vermonters who want us to shine a light on issues they care about. Readers call, email, and send us tips because they understand that at VTDigger we report on burning questions readers bring to us about their communities.
Getting at the truth takes time. Sometimes months, even years.
We pore through hundreds of pages of documents, meet sources on weekends and evenings, and follow up with a second or third interview.
We don’t give up.
This work is only possible because of the support of readers like you. Without your support, the kind of daily watchdog reporting you rely on would be nonexistent.
This Thanksgiving season, we are incredibly grateful to the more than 1,200 readers who helped us meet the $65,000 NewsMatch challenge from the Knight Foundation, Democracy Fund, REI Co-op and friends of VTDigger. Thanks to your help we have raised a total of $130,000 toward the $350,000 we need to close out our budget.
But we have $220,000 to go to ensure VTDigger stays strong.
If you haven’t given yet, please consider a donation in any amount. A little of your help will go a long way.
We hope you’ll become a member today.
With gratitude,
Anne Galloway
Executive Director and Editor of VTDigger
