Hi Reader,


As Giving Tuesday comes to a close, I'm going to get straight to the point: Will you pitch in what you can to The Hechinger Report? Be one of the generous readers who fuel our journalism!

Say no more, I'm in!

Every day, our newsroom meets the moment for you: bringing trusted, independent news and resources that help you understand how federal decisions, state budgets and local innovations shape real lives. We’re here to explain, verify and connect the dots, so you can make informed choices in your schools and communities.


Giving Tuesday is one of the most important days of the year for nonprofit newsrooms like ours. Your first-time gift today helps us plan for the future — plus, your donation will be doubled, thanks to NewsMatch, helping us reach our end-of-year goal of welcoming 160 new donors.

Help us plan for the future

When you give to The Hechinger Report, you’re supporting a public service: news that teachers rely on, parents trust and policymakers read to make better decisions.


Together, we can meet this moment with the facts, context and accountability that education coverage deserves.


Thank you,

Liz Willen
Editor-in-Chief, The Hechinger Report
