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.

To celebrate the Fund's 90th birthday, a handsome anthology of 90 of the 10,000 works its members have bought for the nation. These include all-time crackers like The Kiss and The Rokeby Venus as well as non-Western works, sculpture, even Charles Rennie Mackintosh's bedroom furniture, acquired in 1975 for the Hunterian Art Gallery, Glasgow.
