Dear Reader,

Investigative reporting is incredibly resource-intensive. As an independent nonprofit, VTDigger relies on reader donations to make our work possible and accessible to all.

With only four days and $10K left to raise for our Report for America corps member program, we’re asking you to join us today. Your gift will support two emerging journalists for the next year. Can we count on you?

At VTDigger, we’re committed to following through on stories, about a third of which start with a tip from a reader. Public records requests, fact-checking and rigorous editing processes are part of our DNA and a bright spot of hope at a time when this type of journalism is in short supply.

Those are the ethics and skills that Report for America corps members, already talented emerging journalists, learn to value during their time in our newsroom.

If you can afford it, please become a member of VTDigger by donating today and help us fund two Report for America corps members this year.

VTDigger’s Report for America corps members are full-time reporters covering regional areas of Vermont. Corps members add significant capacity to our newsroom’s daily and investigative reporting.

VTDigger must raise at least $25,000 in order to participate in the Report for America program. We can’t do it without the support of readers like you.

Steadfastly yours,

Anne Galloway
