MPR News is here to amplify voices to inform, include and inspire. With your support, we bring people together through in-depth reporting and courageous conversations. This type of work requires time and resources. Your gifts ensure that all Minnesotans have access to the context and varied perspectives they need to make informed decisions about health, safety, family, and community.
With you, we build authentic partnerships across the state, and share the stories that matter to you. We’re identifying the needs of Minnesotans and addressing them by bringing people together in conversation and sharing the news on the platforms you use. You and your community trust MPR News to bring you the news you need. We can only do this when the community supports our work through individual donations.
Monthly Sustainer Giving
Monthly Sustaining gifts are one of the most effective ways to support MPR News. Sustaining gifts provide steady and reliable support for the music you count on every day, in a convenient, ongoing way. Each month, we will charge your credit or debit card or withdraw from your checking account the amount you specify. Your monthly gift will automatically continue unless you choose to cancel or change it. You can increase, decrease or stop your donation at any time by calling us at 800-228-7123. Sustainers are crucial to providing an ongoing base of community support that we can rely on, so you can continue to rely on MPR News.
