Dear reader,
We’re in the midst of our critical spring member drive and I want you to know that every bit helps. Today is a special day to make your contribution because thanks to a generous group of donors from Bennington, Orleans and Chittenden counties, all gifts will be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000.
Trusted news is hard to put a price on, but if you can pitch in $25, $75 or even $150 today, your gift up to $500 will be doubled. Make a monthly sustaining gift, and it will be matched for the first 12 months. Plus you’ll send a brand-new book to a Vermont child.
When you support VTDigger, you make possible award-winning, original journalism for Vermont. Whether we’re analyzing Statehouse policy or telling the story of a family-owned business, our reporters are making Vermont a more informed and connected place to live.
VTDigger spends 80% of its budget on people and 20% for such expenses as public records request fees, mileage to get to assignments, computers, cell phones, and a small office space.
There’s no fat in the budget; every member donation goes directly into fulfilling the mission of producing rigorous journalism for Vermont. You can become a member at any level today and double your impact.
Every penny counts, especially as news publishers across the country and the state struggle. We support other local Vermont newspapers by letting them republish any of our content free of charge, but VTDigger is not immune to the economic challenges that all publishers are facing.
Please join us and do your part to ensure our public service journalism continues. Your one-time gift will be matched and all monthly recurring donations will be matched for the first year (up to $500). Plus you’ll send a brand-new book to a Vermont child.
Thank you for considering a special gift today.
Sincerely,
Sky Barsch
CEO, VTDigger
