Dear friends of Investigate Midwest,
Happy Giving Tuesday — or what we call #GivingNewsDay!
We're joining more than 300 organizations across the country in raising $50 million to sustain nonprofit news like ours — and to appeal to our supporters to help us in this call to action.
As a supporter of Investigate Midwest, you've come to depend on our deep-dive reporting to give you the facts you want — and need — to know.
NewsMatch is a movement like no other — and it says a lot about you, that you want to be part of it.
- From now until Dec. 31, NewsMatch, a program supported by groups like the Knight Foundation, will double your one-time gift, up to $1,000 or your new monthly donation 12 times. NewsMatch will match up to $13,000 total.
- And this year, we have the opportunity to triple donations up to $10,000 total, thanks to The Joyce Foundation.
Please think of the impact that could have — not just in our newsroom, but across our country, our world. To those who have given already, thank you.
Today we hope to raise $2,000. Throughout the day, people are willing to give to help us make our goal, we believe. Our donor who just committed $100 has now gotten us that much closer to our goal! Can you also help out?
This #GivingNewsDay, invest in news that's for people, not for profit. Invest in this work.
With gratitude,
Mary Ungs-Sogaard, Donor Relations Manager
P.S. Don't keep #GivingNewsDay all to yourself. Celebrate with friends and colleagues by helping us spread the word and forwarding this email or sharing on social media.
