Dear reader, 

Good journalism is worth it. Today, with only three days left in our year-end drive, you can make your investment go three times as far. A group of Vermont donors has banded together to triple every single dollar donated to VTDigger and help us reach our goal. 

Thereโ€™s not much time left. Triple your gift, send five meals to the Vermont Foodbank and enter the member raffle today.

Thermometer showing 80% fundraising progress.

Every dollar invested in local journalism produces a significant public benefit by motivating elected officials to work harder on behalf of constituents, rooting out waste and corruption and increasing civic engagement.

Today, every dollar you invest will be tripled. Your contribution will send five meals to Vermonters facing hunger this winter, filling an urgent need. And, on top of that, youโ€™ll be entered into our member raffle.

I want to express my gratitude to everyone who sent us a note, a tip, a letter-to-the-editor or a press release this year. To all of you who wrote feedback, sent us a question or flagged a mistake, thank you for helping VTDigger serve Vermont the best we can. 

Before the year ends, we need to reach our fundraising goal. Please help us get to the finish line by New Yearโ€™s Eve, and every dollar you give will go three times as far. We canโ€™t do this alone.

Sincerely,

Paul Heintz,

Editor-in-chief
