The Indiana Daily Student has shaped and empowered student journalists for more than 150 years. Now more than ever, we need your help.
Like many news organizations, the IDS faces financial shortfalls due to decreasing advertising revenue. The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated these issues.
We rely on outside contributions in order to continue serving as a learning lab for student journalists to learn their craft and tell the important stories of the IU and Bloomington communities. Your gift to the Indiana Daily Student Legacy Fund ensures the financial viability of our editorial operations for the IDS and Arbutus yearbook for years to come — from wages for editors and reporters to conference registration fees to other costs associated with the student media experience.
Our IDS Insiders community encourages recurring contributions to the IDS Legacy Fund. Your gift demonstrates your investment in award-winning student journalism. To show our gratitude to those who make a financial contribution, IDS Insiders will receive special recognition and access to exclusive programming and events. Plus, your contribution is 100 percent tax deductible as a charitable contribution. We hope you will join at one of the following levels:
$10/month ($120 annually)
• IDS sticker
$25/month ($300 annually)
• All of the Ambassador benefits
• Receive IDS Legacy Fund Insiders email
• Participate in semesterly Zoom call with IDS management
$50/month ($600 annually)
