News you need to know

We’re less than $10,000 from our end-of-year fundraising goal thanks to generous friends and neighbors like you. Thank you for being one of them, or joining them now.

Can we count on your gift before the new year arrives to help us keep bringing local news and information to 11 Hardwick area towns?

News You Need to Know

If you needed any proof that The Hardwick Gazette is a vital community resource, simply look at the last two editions. The Gazette has reported on the sudden leadership change at the Hardwick Electric Department and concerns about the presence of a registered sex offender on the grounds of Twinfield Union School. 

Without The Gazette, would you even know about these developments? Could you count on any other news organization to bring you these kinds of stories and provide continuing coverage of further developments

The answer is no. There are no other newsrooms that offer consistent, responsible coverage of our communities. 

The Gazette is here because of reader support. The more support from readers, the stronger The Gazette will be. 

Right now, every donation will be doubled thanks to generous support from national funders and local benefactors. Your $50 gift becomes $100 for community journalism. Your $250 gift becomes $500. If you choose to become a monthly supporter, your gift will be doubled for the next 12 months.

This is your chance to invest in a service you depend on. Give to The Gazette before the end of the year. You’ll get full value and more. 

Your generosity has made it happen. But more needs to be done if The Gazette is going to achieve sustainability and serve our communities for a long time to come.

This is a moment of historic opportunity.
