Hi Reader,

You read ProPublica because you’re looking for stories that haven’t been told — investigations that go much deeper than headlines and soundbites, that provide necessary context and help you understand complexity and nuance in the world. We know these stories often aren’t exactly fun to read. They’re frequently about corruption and injustice. They’re also many times a good bit longer than the usual news story. But as a regular reader of ProPublica, you know that our only mission is to help right the wrongs that we uncover during our investigations.

Impact drives our work and we are only able to produce this kind of journalism because of readers like you. As a nonprofit newsroom, we rely on donations from individuals for the majority of our funding. Today, I’m asking you to join ProPublica as a monthly donor.

Your small, monthly donation to ProPublica gives us a dependable source of funding, and that matters for an organization like ours — sometimes our investigations can take months, or even years, to fully report. We need folks like you to stand with us.

Our summer fundraiser wraps up on Friday, and I’d love for you to join us before then. Support ProPublica today as a monthly donor, or with a one-time gift, and help us bring power to account, however long it takes.

Thanks so much,
Jill Shepherd
Proud ProPublican
