At Racine County Eye, we want to build a more inclusive future: one in which graduation rates and income levels are not linked to where we grow up or the color of our skin. We know you want better outcomes for our community, too.

Readers like you understand how local journalism can benefit a community. We’re grateful you trust us to do this work — and we could not do it without you.

We’re asking you to make a tax-deductible donation to expand our local reporting on social, economic, and educational equity. A prime example of that coverage is our series about lead poisoning in children, the number one contributing factor to learning disabilities and crime, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Your donation to Racine County Eye — 2023 Local News Fund, via Local Media Foundation, will directly support this journalism effort.

Racine County Eye will allocate proceeds from this program to provide news coverage and/or investigative reporting, above and beyond routine coverage and operations, intended to inform, explain, and educate the community regarding these issues.

Your donation will help us tell these important local stories. Thanks for your support.

The 2023 Local News Fund is a program administered by Local Media Foundation (LMF), a 501(c)(3) organization affiliated with Local Media Association. The purpose of the program is to allow independent and family-owned news organizations to solicit tax-deductible donations from their communities for journalism projects that focus on critical local issues. Contributions to this program are tax-deductible to the full extent of U.S. law; please consult a tax advisor for details.
