Support Sludge on #GivingTuesday

Sludge works tirelessly to follow the money and uncover corruption in politics. But we can’t do it without your support. 

A Sludge reader who appreciates our reporting has agreed to match all donations up to $5,000. So anything you donate will be doubled!

Sludge continues to seek funding support for our investigative journalism. To discuss a tax-exempt gift to our 501(c)3 non-profit organization, email: [email protected].

Millions of people read our scoops this year on Sen. McConnell and voting machine lobbyists, donor-advised funds channeling anonymous money to hate groups, companies and vendors making money nationwide from ICE and CBP, major corporations funding state abortion bans, Facebook’s lobbyists in the revolving door, and U.S. senators holding fossil fuel industry investments. (These last two stories were part of partnerships with The Guardian US.)

We’re on-track to be member-sustained by the end of next year, so a charitable grant in support of our muckraking will keep us producing reporting throughout the 2020 election year and beyond. Get in touch!

For more info about our work, we received some great testimonials from investigative journalists and experts in extremism before our October emergency fundraising drive.
