FINAL CALL: Just 4 hours left to hit our match
You've been so patient — and this is our last ask! Help us raise $22,000 by midnight, thanks to a generous match.

The clock is ticking. At midnight, our campaign to launch Albany Scanner ends.
We have four hours left to claim the remaining dollars in our $11,000 matching pool and hit our fundraising target.
Every single dollar from this campaign will fund reporting, not overhead. That's our commitment to you.
If you haven't given yet, now is the moment when your contribution matters most.
The plan: Once we hit our goal, we hire reporters to start publishing as soon as possible about topics that affect your life.
The promise:
- No paywalls: News for everyone in Albany
- No agendas: Just high-quality, independent journalism
- Total transparency: Reader-supported and community-focused
This is the final countdown. Help us cross the finish line and ensure Albany is never left behind by the news again.
If you’re considering a tax-deductible major gift of $1,000 or more, please email Albany Scanner for instructions.
Let’s launch this newsroom together!
Thank you for standing up for local news,
Emilie Raguso (Albany Scanner publisher) and the Albany News Project
P.S. We’re so close — but we can’t unlock the full $11,000 match without you. Don’t let this opportunity slip by. Join us today!
