Help us reach today’s $5,000 GivingTuesday goal

Dec. 2, 2025

There is still time to help us meet our one-day goal to raise $5,000.

Won’t you take a few moments before settling in for the evening and join in? If 40 readers chip in $100 before midnight, we can still reach our goal!

We’re working to raise — in one day — $5,000. And, thanks to NewsMatch, Rural Partner Fund and the Joyce Foundation, all gifts up to $1,000 per donor will be matched dollar for dollar.

Thank you,

Erin Orr

Executive Director, Investigate Midwest

P.S. NewsMatch only runs through Dec. 31! Give now to ensure your gift is matched and your impact is tripled.

Investigate Midwest relies on donations, and fundraisers like this one, to exist. We appreciate your patience with extra emails during these times. Thanks for being a part of the Investigate Midwest community.
