With so many worthy nonprofits asking for help around the holidays, making choices is hard. But what if one gift could strengthen all the things you care about?
When you donate to the Mississippi River Basin Ag & Water Desk, you’re doing just that. The Ag & Water Desk supports 15 full-time reporters in 10 states across America’s largest watershed, covering agriculture, water, climate change, energy and other critical issues. We bring news about agriculture and water to communities that otherwise couldn’t afford to cover it. And we work with students and researchers at the School of Journalism to train the next generation of environmental reporters.
Whether you care about sustainability, empowering communities, or helping young people, your gift makes a difference in the lives of millions of people across the middle of America. This isn’t flyover country – it’s the heart of our democracy, and you can help ensure communities get the trusted information they need.

As a nonprofit news collaborative, we rely on grants and gifts from people like you. Every dollar you give is matched through the end of the year.
We need just 13 more people to donate before Dec. 31, and we’ll get a $1,000 bonus! Can you help us help communities throughout the Mississippi River Basin? Thank you and happy holidays!
