Last chance to support the Desk in 2025!

Hello ,

Just popping in with a quick message as we near the end of 2025.

We appreciate your patience with these extra asks at this time of year. Today is an important day. We're in the final hours of our fundraising campaign, which supports key programs at the Desk, including grants for professional development, field reporting, and equipment for our team spread across the Mississippi River Basin.

Before you celebrate the new year, will you help celebrate local journalism with us? Every bit counts, and until midnight tonight, every dollar donated will be doubled by our partners at NewsMatch.

We're got big things planned for 2026. Thanks for your support this year!

Happy New Year, 

Thanks for reading. See you next week.
