Our readership quadrupled in spring of 2020 as Vermonters sought accurate information to guide them during this unprecedented crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early on in Vermont\u2019s Covid-19 outbreak, VTDigger pressured the state to release county by county and hospitalization data. In addition, we urged the Scott administration to hold more public briefings. The governor&#8217;s office went from a weekly presser to three times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VTDigger investigated a University of Vermont basketball game in March 2020 that was a major Covid-19 spreading event resulting in at least 20 confirmed cases, 34 suspected cases and 3 deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investigation required surveys, rigorous fact checking and interviews with game attendees. Each time we published an update to the story, we\u2019d reach more people who had attended the game and they would share more information. The state health commissioner initially said this basketball game wasn&#8217;t a spreading event, then later admitted it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VTDigger has received national recognition from the NYTimes, LION Publishers, NENPA and in the National Congressional Record for its role in publishing hundreds of factual reports that supported Vermont\u2019s response to Covid-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color\">Slate Ridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\t<div\n\t\tclass=\"wp-block-newspack-blocks-homepage-articles  wpnbha is-grid columns-3 colgap-3 show-image image-aligntop ts-3 is-3 is-landscape  has-text-align-left\"\n\t\tstyle=\"\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t<div data-posts data-current-post-id=\"548411\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<article data-post-id=\"469875\"\n\t\tclass=\"tag-daniel-banyai tag-federal-bureau-of-investigation tag-pawlet tag-slate-ridge tag-u-s-attorney tag-vermont-attorney-general-office tag-vermont-state-police tag-west-pawlet category-public-safety type-post post-has-image\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"post-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/2020\/10\/29\/militia-training-site-terrifies-neighbors-in-west-pawlet\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/slate-ridge-guns.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Militia training site terrifies neighbors in West Pawlet\" data-hero-candidate=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/slate-ridge-guns.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/slate-ridge-guns-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/slate-ridge-guns-125x83.jpg 125w, https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/slate-ridge-guns-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 34.9rem) calc(100vw - 2rem), (max-width: 53rem) calc(8 * (100vw \/ 12)), (min-width: 53rem) calc(6 * (100vw \/ 12)), 100vw\" data-attachment-id=\"524884\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/2020\/10\/29\/militia-training-site-terrifies-neighbors-in-west-pawlet\/slate-ridge-guns\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/slate-ridge-guns.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"slate-ridge-guns\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Slate Ridge training center devotees have harassed neighbors, posted photos of weapons stockpiles and in practice sessions have shot up vehicles.

Hospitals used the masks to distribute to patients at a time when supplies were incredibly scarce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the year, as federal funding for food aid programs charged toward a cliff and 1 in 4 Vermonters was experiencing food insecurity, VTDigger members sent 40,000 meals to the Vermont Foodbank.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-primary-color has-text-color\">Financials<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VTDigger 2020 Revenue<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Grants | $466,534<br>Underwriting | $369,456<br>Individual Contributions | $1,461,863<br>News Revenue | $135,311<br>Other | $5,790<br>Total Revenue | $2,438,954<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<iframe title=\"2020 Revenue Overview\" aria-label=\"Donut Chart\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-vQGqz\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/vQGqz\/2\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"375\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(){\"use strict\";window.addEventListener(\"message\",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VTDigger 2020 Expenses<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Program | $1,558,328<br>General &amp; Administrative | $142,584<br>Fundraising | $478,362<br>Total Expenses | $2,179,274<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<iframe title=\"2020 Expenses Overview\" aria-label=\"Donut Chart\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-w1p7k\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/w1p7k\/1\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"375\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(){\"use strict\";window.addEventListener(\"message\",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-primary-color has-text-color\">Thank you!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2020-Donor-List-VTDigger.pdf\">2020 Donor List<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/vtdigger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2020-Underwriter-List-VTDigger.pdf\">2020 Underwriters<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Achieving our mission depends upon the generosity of donors, and we\u2019re incredibly grateful for the thousands of individuals, foundations and businesses who support our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We maintain a firewall between news coverage decisions and all sources of revenue.
