Thanks to the generosity of 150 donors, we met our goal for the Fall Member Drive! Raising $10,077 in 12 days is no small feat, and we are so thankful for the support of our readers. This will help us keep our fundraising on track for the rest of the year, which is especially important during a consequential election.

During the drive, we set an extra goal for ourselves: surpass 5,000 MinnPost Members. And I’m happy to report that we have surpassed that goal and now are 5,020 members strong! 

The support of our readers means so much to us, and we loved reading through the comments about why people gave. Here are a few of our favorites:

“MinnPost offers refreshingly spin-free, long-form journalism; particularly that of a local bent that gives me a lot of information & context to help understand local policy.” – Daniel, Minneapolis

“We need independent voices to give us accurate information.” – Susan, Eden Prairie

“MinnPost does great journalism and keeps it accessible.” – Matthew, Duluth

“Your journalism is outstanding.” – Andrea, Northfield

Thank you to everyone who donated! With less than a month to go until the election, we’re looking forward to doing what we can to report on the election and news that matters to Minnesotans.

P.S. If you meant to make a gift but didn’t have a chance, you still can! We rely on the support of our readers year-round, so you can make a donation right now.
