Heading into the final week, we continue to make progress on our year-end campaign. We finished yesterday with 2,601 member households, crossing that threshold for the first time in our eight-year history.
We sincerely thank all those who have given during our year-end campaign – and at any point during the rest of the year, too. We are member-supported, and couldn’t do what we do without you.
In this campaign so far, we have received 392 gifts collectively worth $50,104, requiring us to raise an additional $4,000 to receive the full $25,000 MinnPost Membership Challenge Fund grant, and another $20,000 to hit our goal of $70,000 by Dec. 31.
Any gift in any amount will be matched dollar for dollar, and get us closer to our goal.
Many of those who have already contributed took a moment to tell us why they did. Some recent comments are posted below, with permission.
