Thank you to the many donors who have contributed to the Friends of The Chicago Reporter 50th celebration. If you haven’t had a chance to donate yet (or if you want to make another contribution), we have a very special opportunity to share with you! A generous Chicago Reporter alum who wishes to remain anonymous will match any size contribution through the end of the day today, up to $5,000.

Fifty dollars from 100 supporters is all we need to raise $10,000, which will allow us to continue the vital work of data-driven investigative reporting on race and equity, as well as training and mentorship of young journalists.
