One last thing for 2025
Power The 51st into the year to come.
It’s the last day of a year like no other for our city. It’s been challenging, undeniably, but we’re so grateful to be entering 2026 with you on our side.
I’ll keep this message short and simple: If you’ve been thinking about supporting The 51st, whether via a one-time gift or by joining as a member, this is the time!
All gifts are 100% tax deductible, and until midnight, they will be doubled thanks to NewsMatch!
That means your donation will go twice as far — $100 becomes $200 towards critical local reporting that’s powered by human reporters, never AI, and funded by readers like you, not billionaires. We know this is the type of news our city will need more of in the years to come. Join as a member today to keep building the newsroom D.C. deserves!
Thank you for being here and building The 51st with us, we're excited to keep growing together in 2026.
With care and gratitude,
Maddie Poore
Co-founder, The 51st
