Connecting neighbors with neighbors.
That’s what Root River Current is all about.
Our local stories create shared benefits that extend beyond any single reader. Our reporting links people to resources, ideas and solutions that strengthen civic life.
Shared investment ensures these benefits reach everyone.
Your sustaining support—whether it’s a one-time annual gift or an ongoing monthly donation—is an investment that helps build a sustainable business model for sharing stories about the people, organizations and activities that shape our lives.
And if that’s something you value, we encourage you to be a Root River Current supporting donor. Financial gifts of all sizes will help—no gift is too small or too large!
Ongoing, sustaining gifts throughout the year are of particular value to Root River Current as these Sustaining Partner donations actually help pay the bills throughout the year. Please consider making an auto-renewing monthly, quarterly or annual gift!
Here’s how your donation will help:
- Your gift of $10 monthly covers the cost of one day of Root River Current’s online availability to you and your community 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
- An annual donation of $50, $100, $300 or more extends the reach of every story, every writer, every featured organization to readers throughout southeast Minnesota and beyond.
