Dear reader, 

VTDigger’s impact is evident in its reach and quality. Each month, over 650,000 readers turn to Digger, alongside 42,000 newsletter subscribers and 114,000 social media followers. 

Whether you’re a busy parent needing quick morning updates, or a leader, lawmaker, or voter who depends on investigative journalism, VTDigger delivers every day. Digger’s commitment to breaking news, statehouse coverage, and in-depth policy reporting sets it apart in the Vermont news landscape.

One unique aspect of VTDigger is its funding model. Unlike many news outlets, Digger relies predominantly on the support of its readers. Charitable gifts, memberships, and major donations form the backbone of this independent, nonprofit news platform, highlighting strong community involvement in sustaining quality journalism.

We’re asking Vermonters to invest a little more — to dig a little deeper — to keep independent journalism alive and thriving in Vermont. Your gift will also send 5 meals to the Vermont Foodbank and enter you in the winter member raffle

For those who read VTDigger, it’s not just about consuming news. It’s about being part of a community that values truth and transparency. It’s a daily step to protect democracy and make better the state that we love. 

Thank you for considering a donation to support VTDigger’s news today.
