This spring you showed up for journalism in Maine like never before.
This is an incredible moment to celebrate: 350 BDN readers came together to raise $45,000 in support of local journalism... including more than 100 who set up recurring gifts!
This is the greatest show of support we've had since 2020, when readers like you first rallied to sustain the BDN. Thank you.
Your generosity powers our mission to keep Mainers informed and hold institutions and our government accountable.
Thank you for believing in the importance of trusted, independent journalism. We couldnβt do this without you.
On Wednesday, it was our honor to be able to host a small group of donors in the BDN newsroom to celebrate 136 years of BDN journalism and go beyond the story with a panel of reporters. Weβre already looking forward to doing it again and hopefully seeing even more of you there to join us!
