Hi Friend,

Minnesota Public Radio’s budget deadline is midnight tonight. With revenue threatened on multiple fronts, the strength of our public service is at risk. Listener support — YOUR support — has never mattered more. If you donate before the deadline tonight, you can make a gift with TWICE the impact.

There are several opportunities to make your gift go further for the public media that’s providing you clarity, context and connection right now. Thanks to a matching gift from the MPR Board of Trustees, the first $2,000 donated every hour through 5pm will be matched. Give now to keep MPR strong and accessible to all.

My colleagues in the newsroom and I are working around the clock to keep you informed and grounded by providing trusted news and conversations to help you make sense of this complex world. The costs of powering free and independent radio for all are significant. YOU can help keep this public service strong and available to the more than 1.2 million Minnesotans who rely on us daily. Donate today before our critical budget deadline at midnight tonight.

Whether you listen in the morning, the afternoon, or all day long, you can help us reach our critical budget goal while having twice the impact! Donate now to power in-depth information that engages and equips you to make informed decisions about your health, the economy, and our democracy, through the 2020 elections and beyond.

Thank you,
