Psssst. You wanna hear a good story?

When is the last time you heard a fascinating story? Consider these…

Those true tales all come from the same place - Bridge Magazine - your source for in-depth, nonprofit, nonpartisan news from across Michigan. Will you join the more than 2,000 readers who support our work?    

Your tax-deductible donation today assures Bridge can fill the news void in 2017.

Your donation goes three times as far – thanks to matching pledges by the three Michigan foundations.

It takes less than 60 seconds to contribute $25, $50, $100, $10 a month, or whatever amount Bridge is worth to you as we work every day to grow and sustain high-quality, credible news and storytelling in this age of fake news and alternative fact.

Bridge employs seven of the best full-time journalists we could find and a roster of experienced freelance writers. It’s their job to deliver fascinating stories to the thousands of Michigan residents who read Bridge every day.  It’s their job to watchdog politicians and government. It’s their job to tell you how your schools are performing… how your tax dollars are spent… how the Michigan economy is changing…  how health insurance overhaul may impact your household.

At Bridge, we have a vision and a commitment… As newspapers have declined, as fake news and alternative fact grow on social media, we’re in this for the long haul. We’re committed to growing our ability to deliver news and information that matters to readers all across the state. We’re committed to building a sustainable journalism business model – because a free press isn’t free.

Readers like you will shape and make this vision a reality for years to come.

Our Spring Fundraising Drive runs through May. How much is Bridge worth to you?

Thank you for considering a contribution.  

Sincerely, 
John Bebow, President & CEO
