Thank you for investing in nonpartisan, fact-checked news and the training of investigative journalists!
This is a fantastic time to give: Gifts to the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism are being doubled, up to $1,000 per donor, from now through Dec. 31. If you set up recurring donations, they will be matched at a full-year value to encourage sustaining support of the Center. For example, a new $20-a-month donation now is eligible for an immediate $240 match.
These funds come from NewsMatch. For the third consecutive year, NewsMatch has selected the Center to participate in its national campaign to encourage grassroots support of the nonprofit news sector, which plays an increasingly important role in providing the public with essential information.
Every gift matters. Donate at least $1,000 a year to join our Watchdog Club and receive “behind the story” insights, events and benefits, such as coffee conversations with NPR’s Eric Deggans and David Folkenflik, a reception with Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times investigative reporter Walt Bogdanich and an evening with former New York Times Publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr.
Recurring gifts of at least $83.33 a month qualify donors for the Watchdog Club.
Recurring or one-time gift?
We think it’s important that you get to support and consume the news on your own time and on your own terms. All gifts are greatly appreciated.
A recurring gift means your donation repeats automatically on a monthly or yearly basis via credit card. This provides the Center with the sort of predictable revenue that allows us to plan budgets a few years at a time and helps to reduce administrative costs. If you’re a Watchdog Club member, it prevents lapses in your membership.
