Recurring donations help the most, but you always can send us one-time donations, too.
For those who want to support us from the USA and claim a tax deduction.
Please consider sharing on social media that you’ve donated. When it comes to convincing your friends and followers to support Meduza, you’re the best advocate there is.
In the two weeks since we launched our crowdfunding campaign to save Meduza, we’ve grown from 9,000 regular donors to 15,000. To be honest, we weren’t sure it would be possible — especially during wartime and with the Kremlin having banned us in Russia as an “undesirable organization,” making it a crime to support us from inside the country. That’s what makes your support all the more incredible. Thank you for standing with us.
This campaign has given us hope. It’s shown us that there are people who don’t just believe in journalism, but are ready to fight for it with us. People need independent, uncompromising reporting. And we’re honored to keep bringing it to you.
Our future depends on broad, steady support. Every month we lose some donors. That’s to be expected — it happens to everyone, from small charities to the largest international media outlets. Circumstances change, cards expire. That’s why our crowdfunding can’t stop — not even for a day.
But it’s not only about keeping the lights on. The fact is, we can’t keep living from one emergency campaign to the next. First and foremost, we need to focus on doing our job: delivering the news, launching new projects, and finding ways to uphold high standards of journalism in any circumstances. And we want to keep our word: to be right there with you, whatever happens. That’s why the campaign continues.
Once again, thank you so much. Please don’t stop now. Sign up for a regular donation. And tell your friends Meduza needs support.
If you have any questions about our crowdfunding, we’ll be glad to answer them. Write to us at [email protected].

How can people in Russia still read Meduza?
Despite Russia’s growing censorship, block on our website, and constant attempts to stop our reporting from reaching readers, we still deliver news inside the country. We’ve built a range of technical solutions to make this possible — and we continue to broadcast on every platform we can. So Meduza reaches 18—20 million people every month through all its channels. And 10+ millions are inside Russia.
Here’s how we’re doing now:

Can I claim a tax deduction for donating to Meduza?
Yes, you can, if you live in the United States. This is possible through a partnership with Mother Jones, which has verified Meduza as a sponsored project. Your payment will be made to Mother Jones and the Foundation for National Progress, and then transferred to Meduza. The Foundation for National Progress, which is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3), serves as a fiscal sponsor for Meduza's journalistic endeavors.
