It's the final stretch. Our campaign to **Bring News Back to Albany** ends in just two days.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to chip in, **this week is your last chance to help launch Albany Scanner.**

We have a massive opportunity to raise $22,000 by April 30 thanks to an $11,000 matching pool from the [Albany Community Foundation](https://albanycommunity.org/?ref=albanyscanner.com) and a generous anonymous donor.

Your gift right now will be **doubled** to help us launch a comprehensive news outlet for Albany.

[Yes! I want to help raise $22,000](https://buy.stripe.com/fZuaEZ89C2fMe6M3ub5c400?ref=albanyscanner.com)

**What’s at stake? With your help, we will provide:**

- **Professional reporting:** We'll publish fact-based, unbiased journalism on City Hall, housing, schools and the most important questions of the day.
- **Civic accountability:** Who is tracking Albany elections or the impacts of school district budget shifts?
- **Your history:** Without independent news, Albany’s stories and "small discoveries" fade away.

[Double my gift now](https://buy.stripe.com/fZuaEZ89C2fMe6M3ub5c400?ref=albanyscanner.com)

Every dollar we raise in this campaign pays for **professional reporting for Albany.** Let's not leave this **$11,000 matching gift** on the table.

With gratitude,

Emilie Raguso   
Publisher, *Albany Scanner*

P.S. Thanks to [our $11,000 match](https://buy.stripe.com/fZuaEZ89C2fMe6M3ub5c400?ref=albanyscanner.com), your gift today has double the impact — but **only until April 30**. Help us make the most of it.
