We encourage those who appreciate the value of the journalism completed by Spotlight Delaware to support its growth through financial support. Individuals who make a gift in 2024 will be honored as Founding Members.

Founding Members will be permanently recognized on the Spotlight Delaware website. In addition, members will receive a monthly members-only newsletter, unique newsroom engagement opportunities, and advance notice of events.

Spotlight Delaware is a project of the Local Journalism Initiative, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. Our Federal Tax ID is #87-2914947. Gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

We honor these individuals as Founding Members, the earliest financial supporters of the vision of Spotlight Delaware and Local Journalism Initiative (LJI) to strengthen democracy and community in Delaware by building a stronger local news and information ecosystem.
