During our winter membership drive, we’ve been asking for your support. So we wanted to make sure you knew exactly what you’re supporting. That’s why, for the first time ever, we’ve put together a report that’s just for our readers.

Reasons to be Cheerful’s first annual public report details what we did in 2024, how we raised and spent the money to do it, and what the impact was. It reflects our commitment to transparency, and we’ll release a similar report every year going forward.

This report is just one of the many new initiatives we took on this year. If you appreciate all we’re doing, please consider joining our membership program. Join before January 1, and your monthly contribution will be doubled for a full year by our partners at NewsMatch.

Please note: This report may be difficult to read on a phone screen. We suggest viewing it on a tablet, laptop or desktop.

Thank you for reading and supporting us.
