Inside MinnPost

A note from MinnPost reporter Walker Orenstein.

We believe that informed citizens make for a better community, and a key to our nonprofit mission is serving all of Minnesota, not just those who can afford it.

While social distancing has us taking a year off from MinnRoast, we’re thanking our supporters for standing with us in the critical time and taking a look back at some of the more memorable moments from MinnRoasts of yesteryear.

To recognize these generous Patrons, sponsors and donors who are supporting our nonprofit newsroom after we had to cancel MinnRoast, we’re pleased to unveil the official MinnRoast 2020 Supporter Thank You Wall. To see your name added, donate by 6 p.m. today, April 17.

While we’re sad to take a year off from MinnRoast, our most immediate concern is the financial impact of canceling MinnPost’s biggest fundraiser. You can help us bridge the gap.

MinnPost can’t do the work without you, our readers and supporters. I know it’s an uncertain time for lots of Minnesotans, but I think it’s more important than ever to support our nonprofit newsroom, which provides essential information — for free — to people throughout the state.

While there are many unknowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, MinnPost is delivering level-headed reporting to help you navigate the situation.

We’ve had to cancel our biggest fundraiser of the year, but if you’re able, you can donate now to support our nonprofit newsroom at this critical time and beyond.

Submit your questions about COVID-19 in Minnesota to help guide our reporting.
