Support The Day

The Day needs your help as we continue to deliver the news that matters, whether it be day-to-day reporting on local businesses, schools and governments or deeper dives into important topics such as the environment and evolving energy technologies.

In depth journalism takes time and resources, and we could not do it without the support of the community.

Please consider a tax deductible donation to our funds:

Imminent Horizons Fund

The Day is committed to providing in-depth reporting on emerging environment and energy issues that are important to our readers.

During this year-long investigation, we will provide fact-based journalism on climate change, coastal resilience, environmental justice and efforts to transition to new, renewable and affordable energy sources. We need the continued support of the communities we serve to help fund additional staffing and resources necessary to conduct in-depth reporting into these vital issues.

News Desert Fund

Communities that are no longer covered by local newspapers become "news deserts" that lack journalists providing government oversight and access to quality information.

The Day is committed to providing comprehensive news coverage in every town in southeastern Connecticut, but we've had to scale back coverage in some towns, including Ledyard and North Stonington, due to market forces affecting local news companies around the country.

This became particularly noticeable to our audience during the local election cycle in 2023. We need the continued support of the communities we serve to help fund additional staffing that enables us to provide the kind of coverage our readers expect in every town in the region.

The Day's Energy and Environment Lab will tackle topics critical to southeastern Connecticut, such as rising temperatures, rising sea levels, climate justice, and efforts to transition to new, renewable, and affordable energy sources.
