Minnesota Star Tribune Local News Fund

Since its first day as the Minneapolis Tribune in 1867, the Minnesota Star Tribune has grown to become much more than just a newspaper. It is the fabric of our community. 

Why Support the Minnesota Star Tribune?

With disinformation and disconnection eroding public trust, the need for professional, local news sources is greater than ever. At the same time, the market for local news faces unprecedented challenges, leaving many areas in a “media desert.”

Subscription and advertising revenue alone can’t provide the resources needed for professional local journalism, so many news outlets – including the Minnesota Star Tribune – are turning to community funding, as well, where donations from individuals, institutions and businesses help extend the reach and capabilities of local news organizations.

Donations are administered by the Minneapolis Foundation, which has been investing in causes of importance to our community since 1915, letting you give with confidence.
