Dear Reader,

Thanks to 1,240 VTDigger members, we reached our goal and raised $100,795 during our Fall Member Drive to support statewide news for Vermont.

We are especially grateful to the 90 readers who chose to make their donations monthly. These new sustaining members provide steady, reliable support that helps our newsroom plan ahead and invest in the reporting Vermonters rely on.

Every contribution made during this drive will help VTDigger cover the upcoming elections, stay on top of daily news across the state and give our reporters the time and resources to pursue deeper investigative work.

Throughout the drive, many members shared why they chose to support VTDigger. Their words are a reminder of what this work means to readers across Vermont:
