Support Independent Media

By supporting IDR, you are joining a community of people who believe that the right information in the right hands, can change the world. Your financial support directly helps keep our operations running, which means more social sector expertise gets to reach millions of Indians and others across the globe.

What’s more, because we pay attention to where our stories come from, you can be assured that your support is going towards platforming expertise and lived experience from the margins. Which means, you are helping us bridge the gap between the margins and the mainstream.

When you support IDR, you also help us remain editorially and financially independent, and importantly, sustainable. But being part of our community is not just a monetary exercise; it signals your commitment to independent media, information you can trust, and creating social impact.

Members of our community have given us pro bono support, spread the word about us within their circles, and also fundraised on behalf of IDR. If you have other ideas about how you can help us do what we do, better, please reach out to us. We’d love to hear them. 

If you are having any trouble completing your donation, or if you would like to speak with us about a larger investment or long-term support, please reach out to us at donate@staging.idronline.org and our team will guide you through the process.

Why people support IDR

“I give to IDR for purely selfish reasons: I’ve learned so much from reading different perspectives and insights. I feel like I have access to people, places and points of view that I might otherwise never have had access to. And I love that IDR makes me laugh each week! Thank you, Team IDR, for all you do.”

Priyanka Dutt, Social sector professional

“IDR is one of those rare and precious media platforms, which not only covers important social issues but covers them with great nuance. I support IDR because it provides a stage for voices from the ground, who are otherwise ignored, to share their lived experiences and stories. IDR’s engaging formats – long-form articles, podcasts, photo essays to humour series – make it an unparalleled and unrivalled platform today. I hope more readers come to the platform, subscribe and support it, because of its worth.”
