Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Charities get boost at home

A SURVEY of the incomes of Britain's main charities today shows that giving has risen by 11 per cent over the past year - the biggest rise of the decade. More charities received National Lottery grants than in previous years, although the size of lottery grants dropped from more than pounds 2m each to pounds 465,000 - and the total income of the top 500 charities rose to pounds 4.4bn in 1996/97, according to the survey by the Charities Aid Foundation.
