People like you are the reason we can keep giving The Lansing Journal to people like Mildred for free. You value community news just like Mildred does. And you give from your heart — just like Mildred did.

Whether you give $5/month or $95, all those dollars help cover the costs of quality community coverage that keeps people informed and connected.

This is what your Giving Newsday gifts accomplish.

Will you give what you can for yourself, or maybe even a little extra for the “Mildreds” in Lansing?

Why independence matters

Supporting an independent news source like The Lansing Journal means you don’t have to rely on Facebook for information. You don’t have to wait for a Times reporter to attend a board meeting. You don’t have to hope that Chicago media will cover your event. You have a local newspaper that shows up over and over, getting the facts, publishing the information, and delivering it freely every day. It’s a remarkable benefit that not many communities can say they have. Let’s make sure we don’t lose it.

Your gift can be tax-deductible

If you want the tax benefits of donating to The Lansing Journal, use this button. We are working with a nonprofit fiscal sponsor — Independent Arts and Media (IAM) — in order to offer that tax benefit to our supporters. IAM takes 10% of each gift, and they will send you the documentation you need for tax purposes.

Thank you for supporting local news!
