Hi Reader — 

As we close out 2019 and plan for the year ahead, I’m asking you to join us and make a year-end donation to ProPublica. Funding from our readers makes up a critical portion of our revenue, and I’d love to be able to count on your support as we head into next year. 

Investigative journalism is a luxury in many newsrooms. ProPublica was founded over ten years ago to fill a growing hole that continues to this day: legacy funding models are failing and with that comes shrinking newsrooms. The kind of work we do is painstaking and expensive, but I know you agree that deep-dive, fact-based reporting remains as critical as ever to democracy and our civic life. Our work has spurred reform through legislation, at the voting booth and inside our nation’s most important institutions.

Your year-end donation will help us ensure that we can continue this critical work into 2020. From the Trump Administration, to health care, immigration and so much more, we are busier than ever covering stories you won’t see anywhere else. Make your gift of any amount today and join the tens of thousands of ProPublicans across the country, standing up for the power of independent journalism to produce real, lasting change. 

Thanks so much,
Jill Shepherd
Proud ProPublican
