Dear Reader,

Only 10 days remain in our Spring Member Drive! Our objective is to raise $200,000 for our reporting and help the Children’s Literacy Foundation send 2,500 books to Vermont children.

We have $90,000 and 1,200 books left to go in just 10 days. Will you chip in with a gift that works for your budget?

Your gift today in any amount will bring us closer to our financial goal and send a book.

And thanks to our local business supporters, you will also be entered to win one of two $100 gift cards to Guy’s Farm and Yard or $100 to The Local: Wine and Beer in Middlesex! (I refuse to stop calling it our “vine and beer raffle,” despite pleas.)

We understand that not everyone can make a donation, so we don’t require paid subscriptions to access our reporting. But VTDigger does take resources to produce, and we hope that those who can make a contribution will do so.

The future of our democracy depends on an informed citizenry. And we want to ensure that Vermont’s children are given the tools they will need to participate. That’s why we’re partnering with the Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF) to send one book to a Vermont kid for every donation we receive.

More than 1,300 VTDigger readers have pitched in so far and sent a book – will you join them?

Thanks for considering joining VTDigger as a first-time member today.

With gratitude,

Libbie Sparadeo

Director of Community Engagement and Strategic Partnerships
