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.

Together, Shaping Our Future.

Your sustaining support—whether it’s a one-time annual gift or a recurring monthly donation—is an investment that helps build a sustainable model for sharing stories about the people, organizations and activities that might not otherwise be told, stories that shape our lives—stories that deserve to be told.

Here’s how your donation helps:

• A recurring 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, $250 or more extends the reach of every story, every writer, every featured organization to readers throughout Southeast Minnesota and beyond.

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 or quarterly gift—or if you’d prefer, a one-time annual gift is equally important to sustaining Root River Current‘s future.

Help power Root River Current as we enter our fourth year in 2026—and thank you!
