Help us meet our Year-End Fundraising Drive goal and secure public service journalism for Maine

The Maine Monitor is a nonprofit newsroom bringing you accountability and solutions journalism. We rely on the support of our members to fund our paywall-free journalism.

During our Year-End Fundraising Drive we need to raise $150,000 by Dec. 31 to secure our public service in-depth news as we start 2025. 

If we meet our goal, it will fund the salaries of two full-time journalists; help us obtain documents and databases as we hunt for more news; and allow us to send staff further afield on reporting trips across Maine to uncover the stories other news outlets are unable to tell.

Your gift will make this local journalism possible!
