By donating today, a $15 gift becomes $30, $50 becomes $100, or $150 becomes $300.

As a thank you gift for donating this May, we’ll also send you a special Hechinger print edition spotlighting some recent stories, including in-depth coverage of what coal plant closures mean for schools and graduates, an analysis of the demographic cliff facing higher education institutions and a spotlight on how premature babies are suffering due to blocked early intervention services.

We’re proud to have been independent and free for all — no paywalls, no corporate owners — for our 15 years of existence. Simply put, the previous 15 years of stories were fueled by readers like you. Reader support funds in-depth reporting on all aspects of education; journalist travel costs to classrooms and campuses in remote areas; videos on topics like math to help illuminate our stories for diverse audiences; and projects like Tuition Tracker that help students make informed decisions about their future.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a real difference. Please pitch in what you can to support our fair-minded and transparent reporting. With your support, we can continue to do the vital work for 15 more years and beyond. 

In gratitude,

Chelsea Miller
Development director, The Hechinger Report
