Don't trust the Internet? Can't stand credit cards? Does your organization (or you?) want to make a large contribution or one that matches reader contributions?

How to support The Tyee without ever touching your keyboard.

Option 1: Register with your credit card by phone:

Call 604-689-7489 in Vancouver or toll-free at 1-844-301-6677, Monday - Friday, 10 am - 5 pm PST.

Option 2: Send us a cheque:

Cheques can be made out to The Tyee and mailed to:

The Tyee
PO Box 28187
West Pender St
Vancouver, BC V6C 3T7

Please include with your cheque your full name, return address, phone number and email, plus indicate whether you would like your contribution to remain anonymous. If you'd like to contribute monthly from your bank account, print off this form and follow the instructions.

How to set-up larger and matching contributions:

Would your organization or business be interested in making a larger contribution? You can do so by cheque as outlined above, or if you're interested in offering a matching contribution, give us a shout. Matching contributions can really help ramp up a campaign, and your organization gets great exposure as a supporter of independent journalism in the process.  If this is you, contact us by email or phone (604-689-7409).

Who are we?

We're an independent, online news magazine from BC founded in 2003. We're devoted to fact-driven stories, reporting and analysis that informs and enlivens our democratic conversation. Our reporting has changed laws, started movements and garnered numerous awards and the respect of our peers and readers. While some journalism gives the last word to power, we try to give the last word to ordinary folks.

Since 2009, Tyee Builders have pitched in to hire extra reporters, boost our coverage of provincial and federal election campaigns, and help grow The Tyee while other newsrooms shrink. Join Tyee Builders and together, let’s make good news.


Our vision

Canada is facing major challenges ahead. At the same time, our national media is in collapse. Newsrooms continue to shrink and consolidate under the control of fewer and fewer corporations, and there are fewer journalists asking tough questions of those in power. We believe that our democratic conversation is made possible by strong, independent media, who exist first and foremost to serve the needs of its readers.

How you can help

By contributing to The Tyee on a monthly basis, you are helping to strengthen and grow our team of fierce, tough-minded journalists and editors. Tyee Builders who give every month allow our small and nimble team to plan ahead, and produce original stories that you will not see anywhere else. We don’t put our articles behind paywalls, so your contribution helps to keep our stories open and available to everyone.

Join our community

As thanks for joining, you'll get our special Builders-only newsletter giving you the inside scoop on how our newsroom operates, custom swag, and discounts and early invites to Tyee events.
