Dear Reader,

Our reporters are on the beat 24/7 traversing muddy roads, poring over public documents, covering the courts and staying late at government meetingsโ€“ all to bring you the timely, fearless facts you need to know.

As a VTDigger reader, you understand the importance of a strong and independent press. Today, weโ€™re asking you to consider a special donation to our annual Spring Membership Drive.

Will you join us and help us send 1,000 new books to Vermont children by Sunday?

We will thank you for supporting VTDigger by sending a brand new book on your behalf to a Vermont child through our partnership with the Childrenโ€™s Literacy Foundation (CLiF).

Member generosity has helped us hire more reporters and editors to bring Vermonters deeper coverage of the issues they care about and made it possible for our newsroom to cover the Covid-19 pandemic with unparalleled rigor. Weโ€™ve brought on a new podcast, The Vermont Conversation with David Goodman, hosted political debates during an unprecedented election year and revamped our regional and Statehouse coverage.

Through our reporting, we hope to foster a more informed and engaged Vermont. Reading is essential to informed participation in any democracy, and developing those skills begins at an early age. Thatโ€™s why VTDigger is partnering with the Childrenโ€™s Literacy Foundation (CLiF) to send 3,000 books to Vermont kids at risk of growing up with low literacy skills.

Will you help us reach our first milestone of sending brand-new books to 1,000 children by Sunday?

Thank you for considering a donation today. As a nonprofit news source, VTDigger relies on our community of news readers to keep us on the beat.

Steadfastly yours,

Anne Galloway

Editor & Executive Director, VTDigger
