If you’ve been following our writing this year, you know it’s a dire time for weather, climate, and science overall in the U.S. Budget and staff cuts at NOAA, FEMA, and more threaten to cut our ability to prepare for and respond to weather disasters.

In the midst of all that, hurricane season is coming, and we’re also facing budget limitations at Yale Climate Connections as the philanthropy world tries to make sense of the new administration.

Season after season, readers like you have shown us that you value our coverage of hurricanes and other extreme weather. You’ve used it to stay informed and keep your loved ones safe. Now we need your help.

We are aiming to raise $10,000 to support our Eye on the Storm hurricane coverage this summer and fall. Your donations will go directly to paying journalists like Bob Henson and putting that coverage in front of people who are in the path of storms. Will you sign up to be a sustaining donor today?

We’re raising $10,000 to support our life-saving extreme weather coverage. If you sign up by May 31, 2025, to be a sustaining donor, which means you’ll contribute each month, we’ll invite you to an exclusive virtual conversation with our meteorologists Jeff Masters and Bob Henson. Will you become a sustaining donor today?


To become a monthly donor, make sure you’ve selected the ‘Sustaining gift” option on the Yale donation form. Note that if you set up your donation to be anonymous, we won’t have your information to invite you to the conversation.
