Are you part of The Tyee's critical 1%?

Thanks for reading The Tyee today -- we hope this article added to your day in some way.

You were able to read this today without having to pay a subscription to get past a paywall, or put up with a webpage cluttered with ads, because some segment of our regular readers chip in to our editorial budget. We call these readers Tyee Builders, and they make up between 1 to 2 percent of our regular readership. (And if you are one of them, thank you!)

And that 1 to 2 percent makes all the difference. Revenue from Tyee Builders makes up about half of our non-profit newsroom's entire budget, and it means we can pay our talented journalists to report stories in the public interest, and we can distribute our work for free to all who want to read it.

The Tyee is in the midst of our spring fundraising drive, and we're aiming to raise $50,000 by June 26 to do more in-depth reporting and convening of conversations around issues like housing, healthcare, education, and sustainable economies.

You choose the amount and frequency to give, and all of your contribution will go to funding more journalism on The Tyee.

If you value the journalism you read on The Tyee, and if you want more of it in the world, please consider joining Tyee Builders and help us hit our $50,000 goal by June 26.

Did you know that The Tyee is a non-profit newsroom, and our largest source of revenue comes directly from our readers?

Reader support keeps our newsroom resourced and functional, and it means that we can keep our team of editors and journalists working on publishing in-depth journalism on our site every day, all without a paywall.

We are here for you, our readers, and in our latest reader poll, we heard that you want us to go deeper on topics like housing, healthcare, education, and sustainable economies.

With your support, we'll do a deep dive on these topics, and convene conversations about the state of our public systems, informed by fact-based, high-quality journalism.

Our team is eager to get started, but we need to hit our spring fundraising target to do the job. If you value independent journalism that goes deep on stories that matter, please consider signing up for our Tyee Builder program and help us hit our $50,000 target by June 26.
