We are thrilled to announce that The Bennington Buzz has officially been recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization!

This milestone marks an exciting new chapter for our publication and our mission to provide reliable, community-focused and freely accessible local news, highlight the people and organizations that make Bennington special, and preserve the stories that matter most to our community.

We would not be here without the support of so many people who believed in this vision from the beginning.

A special thank you goes to the Bennington Community Foundation, which served as our fiscal sponsor while we worked through the nonprofit application process. Their guidance, support, and belief in our mission helped make this achievement possible.

We are also deeply grateful to our current sponsors, donors, readers, and community partners. Every sponsorship secured, donation made, story shared, and word of encouragement has helped us grow into what we are today.

As a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all donations to The Bennington Buzz are now tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Your support directly helps us continue covering local government, schools, businesses, nonprofits, community events, and the stories that connect our community.

If you believe local journalism matters in Bennington, we invite you to support our work. Whether you’re an individual donor, a local business interested in sponsorship opportunities, or someone who simply wants to help strengthen independent community news, we’d love to partner with you.
