Today marks the start of our annual spring fundraising campaign at Bridge Michigan!

Here are just a few examples of what we have planned for the remainder of 2025 that you could help make possible:

  • The launch of regional newsletters for west and north Michigan.
  • A project on the business of aging and nursing homes, especially as Michigan and the “sandwich” generation ages.
  • An accountability project on Michigan’s return on investment for corporate incentives
  • Ongoing stories about impact in Michigan of Trump policies.
  • Increased coverage of Michigan’s outdoor life.
  • Looking ahead to Michigan’s consequential 2026 elections — governor, the Legislature,  US senator.
  • A renewed commitment to regional in-person engagement events for readers and members. 
  • Expanded education and environment coverage to provide even more insight into issues that Michiganders care about.

We’re committed to providing this critical public service, but we need your support to keep going strong. As part of our spring campaign, we’ve set a goal to raise $65,000 by May 13. 

Will you help us get there?
