VTDigger year-end member drive: All gifts tripled today

Dear reader,

During the final days of 2024, we want to take a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come together — and how far we still need to go.

But here’s the truth: only 2% of VTDigger readers support our work financially.

In the final stretch of our year-end membership drive, we need your help to raise the final funds to ensure VTDigger’s continued success. 

With only 5 days left to hit our goal, every dollar you give up to $500 will be tripled by a group of generous Vermont donors.

This year, we’ve achieved some major milestones that we couldn’t have done without support from people like you:

• Groundbreaking Investigations: We published an investigation into the sharp rise in migrants crossing the Canada-Vermont border, which became the most-read story in VTDigger’s history.
• Journalistic Excellence: We received nearly 20 journalism awards in 2024, including our first Online News Association award.
• Public Service: We hosted 11 interns, fostering the next generation of journalists, and provided timely 2024 election coverage and voting resources in 14 languages.

Now, we’re asking you to help us reach our goal. Your gift today will not only fuel our journalism but also support a sustainable future for our newsroom.

Will you join the 2% who support VTDigger? Every gift is tripled and will ensure that the vital work we’ve started continues in 2025 and beyond.

We’re incredibly grateful for your continued support. Together, we’ve achieved so much — but there’s more to do.

Thank you for standing with us.

Sincerely,

Libbie Sparadeo
