Lindsay was right. Minnesota Public Radio’s community is incredible. Each day this past week you’ve come through with heartfelt words of support and donations. That support is critical to MPR’s future right now.
Donations from listeners — that’s you, Friend — keep your source for music that nourishes, uplifts, and soothes the soul strong. Help us reach our goal before the weekend is over to secure $25,000 in additional funds for the independent news and music you rely on — during trying times and happy times.

Hi Friend,
We’re more than halfway through the most important, high-stakes Member Drive in my tenure as Director of Membership. For the past 9 days, I’ve been reminded over and over again just how incredible this community of MPR listeners is. I am so grateful for your support, and your commitment to MPR drives me on. Because our work is not done.
MPR is still in the midst of the most serious financial threat we’ve ever faced. More people than ever are counting on MPR News, The Current® and Classical MPR to be here for them through this time. And Members remain our most important source of funding for the essential news and music that’s connecting more than a million Minnesotans every day.
Last weekend, more than 1,000 listeners rose to a challenge and helped unlock $25,000 for Minnesota Public Radio. When MPR listeners work together, there’s nothing we can’t do.
So this weekend, let’s build on that success. When 1200 listeners donate, you’ll unlock an additional $25,000 from the Member Challenge Fund to support MPR and the weekend programs that offer you escape and comfort during this time. Together, we can do it again!
