I’m happy to share a bit of good news for the new year: Thanks to readers and supporters like you, who donated during our recent NewsMatch campaign, we met our matching funds goal and raised a total of $27,585.
While that’s a bit shy of our $30,000 stretch goal, we are truly inspired by your generosity and can’t wait to continue keeping this community well informed throughout 2026.
When you invest in Investigate Midwest’s independent and investigative reporting, you enable necessary stories with local impact to be told. Thank you!
With much appreciation and gratitude,
Erin Orr
Executive Director, Investigate Midwest
