Donation forms are often targeted for credit card fraud, since they have very low minimums (at PP, even $1 makes you a member!). To prevent stolen card tests, we use the highest security, which requires more info, and that it matches the card. We never share, trade or rent your PII.

1/ We’re nonprofit. We’re independent. We only answer to readers like you.

Investigative journalism isn’t free to do, but thanks to 70K+ members, it’s free to read.

Who owns our newsroom? No one.

ProPublica is a fiercely independent nonprofit. Not even our board or our donors know what we’re working on until it’s published.

We are powered by 70,000 of you and counting. Join us: propub.li/4ih6dmJ

I agree with this quote (because it's true) about ProPublica's audience "ProPublica does not assume its audience wants to hear only about those stories or is allergic to diverse topics."

I'm so lucky to be able to talk to our members about our work!
