The spring member drive raised over $7,000 last week from 129 MinnPost readers. While that fell short of our goal, we are still extremely grateful for the support of so many donors stepping up to support our nonprofit newsroom.

This drive, we talked about the importance of independent journalism in an election year. Our reporters work diligently to bring you the news you need to stay informed. Thank you to everyone who supported MinnPost this month to support this important work.

Here’s why some folks chose to donate this month: 

“As a community, we need quality journalism to stay informed and hold our representatives and businesses accountable.  I want to make sure MN continues to be a place with journalism we can rely on.” Kate, Roseville

“An independent press is critical to the survival of the country.” Deborah, Mahtomedi 

“MinnPost is a valuable independent source of local news.” Carol, Minneapolis

“Reliable, credible news sources are necessary if democracy is to survive.” Keith, Moorhead

“Journalism with context and perspective is key to our democracy.” Noreen, Saint Louis Park

Thank you again to everyone who donated! If you didn’t get a chance to donate during the drive, you still can make a donation anytime
