Serious reporting involves carefully uncovering the facts, holding the powerful to account, and interrogating ideas and arguments. At the same time we must offer fresh alternatives and commit to the belief that the way things are isn’t the way things have to be; we must use clarity and imagination to build hope.

The investment we receive from our Patrons is not only for today: the contribution they make is crucial in ensuring that generations to come will be able to enjoy The Guardian and help them create a better world.

Unique support for extraordinary times


Patrons help us to keep our independent, fearless journalism open to all


The Guardian is editorially independent, meaning we set our own agenda, free from commercial bias and the interference of billionaire owners, politicians or shareholders. No one edits our Editor. No one steers our opinion.

Guardian Patrons help keep our journalism free of a paywall, so it remains open and accessible to everyone. With their support we can tell the stories of people and communities that otherwise might go unheard, pursue the most complex or time-consuming stories and hold the powerful to account.

Over the years The Guardian has challenged my opinions and helped me to learn and grow as an individual. I cannot express in words the deep sense of gratitude that I have towards the paper, and its journalists for that priceless gift.

In a small way being a Patron makes me feel like I can give a little back, and that makes me feel very proud.
