Dear friends of Investigate Midwest,

Here at Investigate Midwest, we understand agriculture and news. And we know that, these days, the news can feel especially unpredictable and relentless.

As a nonprofit investigative news organization, we’re committed to telling stories that affect rural individuals, families and communities in the Midwest that might otherwise go untold — about the impacts of agriculture on air and water quality, the health and safety of our food system, and pollution and drought affecting the Mississippi River Basin.

We keep the spotlight on agribusiness and policymakers, entities that need to be kept accountable.

So with a humble heart we reach out to you — yes, we need your continued help.

Our newsroom can’t run without reader support. Please know that any amount you can offer fuels every step of our reporting, and keeps us on the path to long-term sustainability. (Please know that small or large donations are joyfully accepted as well!)

From now through the end of the year, we invite you to join fellow readers in making our work possible by making a donation.

Every dollar will help us get closer to our goal of $25,000.

What do you say? Will you stand up for nonprofit news that works for you?

With gratitude,

Mary Ungs-Sogaard, Donor Relations Manager
