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.

The 10th seed at Wimbledon, Michael Stich, only reached the fourth round this year, but he has been pouring a lot of his energy into promoting a charitable foundation which he and his wife, Jessica Stockmann, have founded.

The Michael Stich Stiftung Charity assists HIV-infected children. With capital provided by Stich, plus the proceeds of a tennis event in Mannheim, it has made heartening progress. "We should try to share some of our good fortune with those that need it most. We are so lucky with our lives," Stich said.

Stich, one of only eight players to win at least one title every year since 1990, launched his foundation in November 1994 soon after being runner-up in the US Open. He married Jessica in September 1992 and served on the ATP Tour Player Council in 1991.

Donations or ideas for the foundation should be sent to: Michael Stich Stiftung, Ferdinand-Maria-Strasse, 31, 80639 Munich, Germany. Phone/Fax 49 89 17 54 11.
