We've said it before: Albany deserves a professional, dedicated local news outlet.

And today we're excited to announce a **massive boost** to help us get there: We've lined up an **$11,000 matching pool** to "Bring News Back to Albany" — thanks to two huge supporters: the [Albany Community Foundation](https://albanycommunity.org/?ref=albanyscanner.com) and a generous anonymous donor.

This means **every dollar you give will be doubled**.

Raising **the full match now will bring in $22,000** to hire the reporters we need to write the stories Albany has been missing.

### See your impact grow

- **$50 becomes $100:** Fund nuanced coverage of Albany meetings, from City Council to the school board — and more
- **$300 becomes $600:** Support on-the-ground reporting of Albany events
- **$500 becomes $1,000:** Accelerate our in-depth "deep dive" stories

[Yes! Double my impact](https://buy.stripe.com/fZuaEZ89C2fMe6M3ub5c400?ref=albanyscanner.com)

And we want to assure you: We aren't waiting to get started. We're already working on our Albany job listing so we can leap into action May 1\. That's how much we believe in you!

Together, let's make sure Albany news no longer gets left behind. Every gift makes a critical difference in making Albany Scanner a reality.
