What is the difference between a single donation and membership?

There are two ways to support the Kyiv Independent. A single payment is a one-time contribution – you will only be charged once, but you won't receive membership benefits.

Membership is a monthly payment, with recurring billing, meaning you will be charged on the same day each month. By choosing this option, you will receive membership benefits, including our special weekly email blast with behind-the-scenes updates and reading recommendations. Different membership plans come with different benefits.

You can also join as a member with an annual payment. You will also receive membership benefits, but you will only be charged once a year on the date you signed up.
