Dear readers,
Today is a special day for VTDigger and for Vermont news! Thanks to three generous donors, every gift made on Giving Tuesday is tripled. That means your support goes three times as far to keep VTDigger strong and independent.
Our committed friends from Ripton, Jeffersonville and Charlotte are tripling every contribution, including monthly sustaining gifts. Please contribute before midnight on Tuesday and take advantage of this opportunity to make an outsized impact.
All one-time and annual contributions up to $500 and monthly gifts up to $50 will be matched 3X for the first 12 months.
Plus, if you sign up to be a $15/month sustainer, your gift will be tripled for the first year and we will send you a limited-edition 15th Anniversary shirt as a thank you!
Anyone who gives will also receive 15% off in our merch store with new items from our collaboration with Vermont cartoonist Daryl Seitchik. There’s no better time to give.
We know there are many worthy causes to support today and every day, but we hope sustaining local news is a priority to our readers. Original, local reporting like the kind our newsroom provides is:
- The foundation of democracy. Without trusted journalism, misinformation proliferates, eroding the accountability and transparency that democracy depends on.
- A direct investment in your community. Our reporting impacts your community and makes a tangible, positive impact by uncovering injustices, improving public services and providing timely information.
- At risk. Local news is a lifeline for smaller communities, yet it’s under constant threat. With massive declines in newspaper jobs and closures of local outlets, nonprofit newsrooms like VTDigger are stepping in to fill the void—but they need financial support to thrive.
Every dollar you give powers the fearless journalism that Vermonters rely on, from investigative reports that expose corruption to breaking news that keeps you informed during times of crisis. And today, that dollar goes three times as far.
Thank you for loyal readership, and for considering a gift to VTDigger this Giving Tuesday.
Sincerely,
Sky Barsch
CEO, VTDigger
