Help us unlock $5,000 for fearless investigative reporting
Every Thursday, you read our newsletter. You follow the stories. You care about what’s happening behind the scenes in Big Ag and how it affects your community, your food, and your future. We’re excited to have you with us!
And you know Investigate Midwest doesn’t just skim the surface — we dig deep. We file public records requests. We hold the powerful to account. We show our work. And we do it all as a scrappy independent and nonprofit newsroom, offering our work free to everyone.
Now, we need your help.
We’ve been given a special opportunity: if we can raise $5,000 by the end of July, a generous funder will match every dollar. That’s double the impact to power the investigations you’ve come to rely on.
That means your gift of $25 becomes $50 for independent journalism. $50 becomes $100. And so on.
This mini-match campaign is about more than meeting a goal — it’s about showing that people like you believe this work matters. That truth, transparency, and accountability in agriculture and rural America are worth investing in.
So today, we’re asking:
If you value the stories we deliver to your inbox, will you make a donation to Investigate Midwest?
Thank you for reading, caring, and supporting journalism that makes a difference.
With gratitude,
Executive Director, Investigate Midwest
Investigate Midwest is an independent, nonprofit newsroom. Our mission is to serve the public as a watchdog over influential agricultural corporations and institutions through in-depth and data-driven investigative journalism.
