Donate to the Prior Lake News Compass before the end of 2025 and your contribution will be doubled
The Prior Lake News Compass is nearing its one-year milestone of returning local news to Prior Lake. Board members, volunteers and part-time staff members continue to work tirelessly to provide quality news and information that impacts our community.
Now we need your help to support our efforts.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation, large or small, before the end of 2025. During the months of November and December, we have a unique opportunity to receive national matching funds through organizations that support local news efforts. Individual donations of up to $1,000 will be matched for a total of up to $15,000, and additional matching funds are available for community news operations such as ours.
We are a nonprofit organization that provides local news content, free of charge. But like any business, we must have adequate funding for our ongoing expenses. Our goal is to raise $100,000 through contributions and matched funds before the end of 2025 so we can hire a full-time editor and additional part-time news and sales staff. With everyone's help, we are confident we can achieve this goal.
Our audience continues to grow, literally every day. Our subscriber count is now nearing 2,500. Others who are interested in Prior Lake visit our website regularly.
If you find value in what we're doing, please help us by making a contribution now while your donation can be doubled. We can't be successful without your help.
Donations are tax-deductible. Checks may also be sent to: Prior Lake News Compass, PO Box 75, Prior Lake, MN 55372.
Know that it is our ongoing commitment to provide information about local news, schools and city, public safety and events well into the future. Please help us to ensure this essential public service continues for the Prior Lake community.
