5X match for donations to Bridge Magazine today!
Through donations from loyal readers like you, Bridge Magazine’s nonpartisan, nonprofit, fact-driven, statewide news will be more in-depth and frequent than ever in 2018.
Your tax-deductible donation assures Bridge will keep Michigan informed in 2018.
Your donation today will be matched by five funders!
Bridge earned more than 40 state and national journalism awards in 2017, including our second consecutive “Newspaper of the Year” award from the Michigan Press Association. In 2018, our veteran journalists will… Expand the popular Michigan Truth Squad nonpartisan political campaign fact-checking service… Watchdog the state capitol… Deepen unbiased coverage of environmental issues… And continue award-winning coverage of statewide education, economic/business climate, success, and quality of life issues.
Who’s going to tell you? Who’s going to watchdog government? Who’s going to tell you if candidates are telling the truth on the campaign trail? Who’s going to tell you how your local schools are performing? Who’s going to tell you how your tax dollars are spent? Who’s going to inform you about changes in the Michigan economy? Who’s going to respectfully share the diverse perspectives of Michigan’s ten million residents?
Bridge Magazine will tell you. With your support, Bridge will tell you more than ever in 2018.
How much is Bridge journalism worth to you? $25? ... $50? … $100?... Two dollars per week? It takes one minute to donate to Bridge online. Will you join the more than 2,000 readers who now financially support our work?
If you believe social media “fake news” is a threat to our society… If you believe real, data-driven, in-depth news helps readers and leaders make sense of our state’s future… If you want credible and vigilant watchdogging of statewide issues and the 2018 election… Bridge will deliver for you in the year ahead.
Five philanthropies will match your Bridge donation! The Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation, Glassen Memorial Fund, Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, and Wege Foundation are all matching Bridge reader donations today! So is News Match, a national nonprofit news campaign supported by Democracy Fund, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
Financial support from readers is a tremendous boost to Bridge’s nonprofit journalism as traditional for-profit newsrooms have lost more than half their journalists in the past 15 years. Your donation today will greatly help Bridge deliver maximum public service impact in the year ahead.
Thank you!
