We want to hear from you
I've been wanting to write this email for a while.
We spend a lot of time at Investigate Midwest thinking about the work — the stories we're chasing, the data we're pulling, the corporations we're holding accountable. And we want to spend more time thinking about you.
This summer, we're making time to connect with the people who've chosen to invest in this work — and that starts with some real questions.
I put together a short survey that should take about three minutes to complete. There are no right or wrong answers. I just want to know what brought you here, what keeps you here as a supporter, and what you think we could do better.
Your insight matters to us in a way that's hard to overstate. You're not just a donor — you're someone who looked at what we're doing and decided it was worth backing.
Thank you for being part of this work!
With gratitude,
— Erin Orr
executive director
