More than 1,400 people per month read the Valley Post. Each of those people read the Post approximately once a week, on average. The Valley Post is a non-profit organization. Donations from readers is the Post's only source of income. To avoid conflicts of interest, we reject advertising and government funding. Please make a tax-deductible donation and/or volunteer for the Valley Post.

Anyone who donates $35 annually, or volunteers four hours per year, becomes a member of the Post. When the Post has 100 or more members, the members will be able to vote for, and run for, the Post's board of directors.

The Valley Post is raising money to pay freelance writers, and to launch a weekly, half hour radio news program that will be heard on radio stations throughout the Pioneer Valley, Brattleboro, and Keene. The radio program will also be available as a podcast.

Another objective is to publish more investigative articles. Examples of this kind of article are at:
