The Hardwick Gazette, Dec. 31, 2025

You Have Exceeded Every Expectation

When The Hardwick Gazette began this fundraising drive, very ambitious goals were set. This is because The Gazette needs to grow, in order to serve you better and become financially sustainable. 

The drive is almost over, and the results have been amazing! New records set for total donors and donations. Every dollar in matching funds has been spoken for. There’s a great sense of gratitude, and a determination to serve you better in 2026.

If you haven’t yet given, there’s still time to donate! The more money raised, the stronger The Gazette becomes. You’ll see the results throughout the new year in local news you can depend on. It can only happen when you join in the effort.
