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 and a generous anonymous donor.

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

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.

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, your gift today has double the impact — but only until April 30. Help us make the most of it.
