Hi Reader, 

We have mere hours before the deadline to make your 2025 charitable donations. I hope that ProPublica will be among the nonprofits you support this year, and that you will donate before the clock strikes midnight! 

Our readers believe that democracy works best when a rigorous, fact-based, nonpartisan press has the freedom, resources and independence to shine a light on corruption and abuse of power. Over the past few years, we’ve seen our readership grow, and with it, a community of ProPublicans who invest in our work — today, we are the largest investigative newsroom in the country.

We’re busier than ever with dozens of investigations in the works, and I’m asking you to help us continue to do this work. It’s so easy: In just a few short minutes, and with just a few dollars, you can make a real difference by supporting the kind of journalism that rights wrongs and creates real-world change. 

An anonymous foundation has generously pledged to match all contributions up to $75,000 today only. That means every dollar you give will be doubled to support the kind of deep-dive journalism that uncovers the truth behind complex issues — journalism that’s nonpartisan, fact-based and so relevant right now.

Make your year-end donation before midnight, and help ProPublica make an even bigger impact in 2026. 

Happy New Year!  

Jill Shepherd
