Our Year-End “Ask”:
Your Vital Support
Donations from you – our readers – are absolutely essential to the life of The Hudson Independent. Your contributions preserve our commitment to high-quality, not-for-profit, subscription-free local journalism.
Particularly important is your participation in our year-end fundraising. The results from 2022 were critical to sustaining our work this year. Now we ask for your continued support as 2023 comes to a close.
The past decade has witnessed the disappearance of good professional journalism at the local level, creating information gaps that pose a real danger to the interests of local communities. Your financial support goes a long way in filling that gap.
Along with a growing number of other news organizations, large and small, the Independent is relying on the generosity of its readers. To that end, we formed The Hudson Valley News Foundation, a not-for-profit approved by the IRS for accepting tax-deductible contributions. Yours, in any amount, can be made to the Foundation through:
- PayPal (including all credit/debit cards) – see Donate button below
- or by mail to
The Hudson Valley News Foundation, Inc.
PO Box 336
Irvington, NY 10533
Whether you are a past donor or considering becoming a new one, we hope you will join us in the shared cause of serious journalism dedicated exclusively to our communities.
Kind year-end regards—and much gratitude—from all of us at the “INDY”
