MinnPost is nearing the halfway point of our year-end membership campaign. So far, we have received over 100 gifts of support from readers, including gifts from 33 new sustaining members.
A majority of comments from our readers echo those of Robert Bowman, who said he gave to MinnPost because he wants to “support local, independent, and responsible journalism.”
Our goal for this year-end campaign is $75,000, which will directly support our critical state and local reporting in 2017.
New this drive, readers who become Platinum members by giving at least $20 per month (or $240 at one time) will be eligible for new one-year digital subscriptions to The New York Times.
And when you do, take a moment to tell us why. Below are testimonials we’ve received in the first days of the campaign, reprinted with permission. We will continue to reprint them as the member drive continues.
