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. As we face financial threats like never before, individual gifts remain our most important source of revenue. Make a gift now to help us reach our goal of 1200 gifts before Monday to unlock $25,000 from the Member Challenge Fund. 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. Wishing you a wonderful Saturday evening!

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! Will you team up with your community of listeners and rise to this new challenge? Be one of 1200 members to make a gift before Monday morning to help unlock much-needed funds for MPR. You can help protect MPR News, The Current, and Classical MPR for Minnesota. Join your community and make a gift today. Thank you,
