The Intercept - We’ve never done this before

Everyone on our team is humbled by the outpouring of support for our September campaign. To express our gratitude, our staff is offering to personally match the next $15,000 in reader donations.




I’ll be honest: When we launched this month’s fundraising drive with a goal of $400,000, I knew it would be an uphill fight.

As The Intercept’s new CEO, I know that fundraising has become a challenge. With so many people disillusioned and tuning out the news, most nonprofits are now experiencing a troubling decline in donations.

But the good news is that with just 36 hours left, we are now agonizingly close to meeting this goal. So far this month, more than 16,000 readers have chipped in to continue The Intercept’s courageous, in-depth reporting.

Everyone on our team is humbled by the outpouring of support, so right now, we’re doing something we’ve never done before: Our staff is offering to personally match the next $15,000 in reader donations.

I know you share my commitment to journalism that breaks through the noise to challenge the status quo. And that’s why I’m hoping you’ll join me in making a donation before midnight tomorrow.

Thank you,

Annie Chabel
Chief Executive Officer
