We’re in the midst of raising money to fuel our journalism, but it’s also Black Friday today…

So become a monthly or annual donor of any amount by midnight tonight and we’ll send you a Hechinger beanie as a thank you!

Nearly 15 years after the Hechinger Report’s launch, you can find our journalists reporting from childcare centers, classrooms, college campuses and moderating discussions at leading conferences throughout the U.S. You can also find our deeply reported education stories published in an array of newspapers and magazines, aired on public radio, and listened to via podcasts.

We provide a critical public service — made possible by reader support. A $5 monthly donation goes a long way toward keeping our newsroom staffed and running.  We like to say, from diapers to degrees, we’ve got you covered! Start a monthly gift and we’ll have you covered for winter, too. 

If you give today, a Hechinger beanie isn’t the only thing you’ll receive. Supporters of The Hechinger Report receive a monthly behind-the-scenes newsletter, and primers on key education topics (from climate change to child care centers to rural higher ed) and are the first to know when our work sparks change in schools and policy.
