Here’s the bad news: we are behind on our Fall Member Drive goal by about $5,207. The good news: there’s still time for you to support MinnPost and help us get there. Will you make a donation right now to help fund our independent journalism?

The goal isn’t some made up number. It’s what we need to raise to stay on track for our budget to continue bringing you the independent news coverage you rely on. The Fall Member Drive helps send our reporters out into Minnesota to chase the stories that matter most to you. The stories that drive impact. The stories that make MinnPost unique.

When you give right now, you’ll help us close the gap AND you’ll be joining more than 5,000 other members who care about local news. Any amount will help — $5, $50, $200 — whatever works for your budget goes directly towards our in-depth news coverage.
