Behind every issue of Lögberg-Heimskringla is an incredible community that believes in keeping Icelandic voices strong and connected. Last year, nearly 190 donors stepped up to support us — and some even gave to both our Annual and Matching Campaigns. That kind of generosity keeps this paper going and growing.

As we head toward our 140th birthday in 2026, your support means everything. You’re not just helping publish a newspaper — you’re helping carry a 140-year legacy into the future.

To every name listed here: TAKK KÆRLEGA FYRIR! We couldn’t do this without you.
