At Investigate Midwest, we believe trust in journalism starts with transparency.
That’s why we link directly to the legislation we reference, the reports we cite, and the documents we analyze. We show our work — because you deserve to see what we see.
Take our investigation into why Illinois lawmakers failed to pass food system reforms. That story included direct links to emails, hearing transcripts, bill language, and public records, so readers could see exactly how powerful lobbies shaped the outcome.
This isn’t just good journalism. It’s public service.
But it takes time, care and resources — and that’s where you come in.
Right now, we’re headed into the last two weeks of our summer mini-match campaign to raise $5,000 by July 31. We’ve raised $2,542.89 so far. (And thank you to those who already have invested in us!)
Help us keep sharing not just what we report, but how we report it.
You read the stories. You click through the source documents. You dig deeper.
Now we’re asking: Will you support the journalism that lets you do that?
With appreciation,
Executive Director, Investigate Midwest
