Every day, local journalists show up for our communities — asking hard questions, telling important stories, and making sure our neighbors stay informed

But local news doesn’t exist without local support.

When you give today, you’re investing in the reporters, photographers, and editors who help us understand our schools, our city halls, our small businesses, and the people who make Minnesota home.

Your gift helps ensure that trusted, independent local journalism continues to serve our communities — today and for generations to come.

Through April 30, 2026, support the local news outlet you love by browsing the list below and donating to one (or more!) of the many nonprofit news organizations participating in this special campaign.
