Spring Drive: Your support helps VTDigger provide trusted news and sends a children’s book

We are so close to wrapping up our annual Spring Drive. Today we need 150 members to join VTDigger in order to stay on track. Can you help us meet our goal?

Please join us with a donation in any amount today. You’ll become a VTDigger member and your gift will also send a brand-new book to a Vermont child through our partnership with the Children’s Literacy Foundation.

Research shows strong local reporting contributes to more accountable governance, deeper civic engagement and a greater shared sense of community. Yet less than 2 percent of our readers are supporting members. Nonprofit news publishers such as VTDigger can’t do this journalism alone. We rely on readers to support our work.

Maybe you relied on VTDigger’s news coverage during the pandemic , July’s historic flooding or during an election like the one coming up this November. Maybe you’ve been drawn to our investigation of Slate Ridge or our award-winning work to make lawmakers’ financial disclosures more accessible. Perhaps you’ve valued analysis of how federal restrictions could impact access to abortion pills in Vermont or what is being done to address the statewide housing shortage . If so, you know how important factual reporting is to a strong, resilient Vermont.

No matter what VTDigger is covering, we are doing it with experience, integrity and rigor. But it takes resources to publish this kind of journalism.

Please support our ongoing efforts with a one-time or monthly donation . We just need 150 members at any level today.

Thank you for reading and valuing VTDigger’s public service reporting.

Sincerely,

Paul Heintz
Editor-in-Chief
