"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."

"At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it."

"King Charles has expressed his pride in The King's Trust, the charity he established five decades ago, which continues its mission to uplift disadvantaged young people across the UK. Founded by Charles in 1976 as The Prince's Trust, the organisation was conceived to empower young individuals facing challenging circumstances, guiding them towards employment opportunities or supporting their entrepreneurial ventures. Now recognised as one of the nation's foremost youth charities, it has positively impacted the lives of more than 1.3 million young people."

The Independent highlights on-the-ground reporting across major issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, citing investigations and documentary work that parse facts from messaging. Donations enable continued deployment of reporters to cover both sides and keep reporting freely accessible without paywalls, supported by readers who can afford it. King Charles founded The Prince's Trust in 1976, now The King's Trust, to uplift disadvantaged young people by fostering employment and entrepreneurship. The trust has helped over 1.3 million young people and is supported by high-profile figures and beneficiaries who credit it with transformative opportunities.
