MinnPost relies on reader support to survive. In fact, more than two-thirds of MinnPost’s funding comes from reader donations.

We’re closing in on the end of our Spring Member Drive, and we’re only 76 members away from hitting the 6,000-member mark, which would be a new all-time MinnPost record.

A donation from you today, in any amount, backs the talented reporters in our nonprofit newsroom and allows them to take you deep into the important issues facing our community in the year ahead.

Don’t take independent media for granted. If you read MinnPost, now’s the time to support MinnPost.

Our goal by March 18 is to hit an all-time record of 6,000 MinnPost members in support of our essential work.

Now through MinnPost Festival, we’re going to highlight our amazing lineup of speakers. First up: Astead Herndon, a national politics reporter at The New York Times.

Registration is now open for a free virtual event — MinnPost Social: A look at the 2021 Minnesota Legislature (so far) — on Tuesday, March 9, from 5 to 6 p.m.

In the spirit of MinnPost’s nonprofit mission to make journalism available free for all, all-access passes for the inaugural MinnPost Festival are available at Pay What You Can pricing, meaning you pick the price that works for your budget (including free!).

I’m excited to announce the inaugural MinnPost Festival, a series of engaging conversations with some of the most insightful minds from politics, media and culture.

The year hasn’t been all bad, and one of the bright spots has been the response by readers to the journalism MinnPost produced in 2020.

Be it a federal contest or a suburban City Council race, I believe an indispensable ingredient of a healthy democracy is honest, fair, fact-based journalism.

The coming of COVID-19 has been devastating for the arts. Almost overnight, everything in our buzzing, vibrant arts economy changed.

It’s been an exceptionally busy year for my colleagues and me. In addition to covering the major news events of this year, we’ve launched a daily newsletter to keep you informed about how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting Minnesotans.

Throughout the pandemic, MinnPost has continued to be your source of critical Minnesota news, and not just on the coronavirus.

Donations from readers like you are crucial in delivering on our nonprofit mission and making our journalism available to all readers for free — no paywall or subscriptions.

Registration is now open for a free virtual event — MinnPost Social: Worst Year Ever? A Panel Discussion — on Tuesday, Dec. 15 from 5 – 6 p.m.

In this unprecedented and unpredictable year, trustworthy news is vital. As a reader-supported, public-service newsroom, we believe it’s our duty to bring you context and clarity around critical issues impacting Minnesotans.

We’re incredibly grateful to the 390 generous donors who gave a total of $28,150 to MinnPost’s nonprofit newsroom on Give to the Max Day 2020!

Our goal is to raise $20,000 today,  and we currently have $11,500 in matching funds available for donations to MinnPost.

MinnPost marks 13 years of nonprofit, public-service journalism by discussing the Supreme Court with esteemed reporter Linda Greenhouse, and raising crucial funds for the organization’s future.
