Help WisconsinEye Raise Operations Funds

Donation protected
Update for February 2026:
We are so grateful for the support that allowed the restoration of WisconsinEye programming for February. We hope to continue in March, but that is not a certainty given the continuing funding challenge.

To date we have achieved nearly 30% of the GoFundMe goal. Achieving the stated goal of $250,000, when coupled with some hoped-for larger gifts, will keep us on the air through 2026 covering State Capitol proceedings and our award-winning candidate and campaign coverage.

But we're not there yet. State support remains an open question. We're making our best, strongest case for a reasonable level of state funding -- a level that would still require WisconsinEye to raise private support while maintaining its independence.

Bottom line is that we continue to need your help. Please make a gift today.

Since 2007, WisconsinEye Public Affairs Network has provided a window into the workings of Wisconsin's state government.

This inside look has included:
  • Free, live and unedited coverage of the Wisconsin Legislature, executive branch, and state Supreme Court.
  • Fourteen thousand hours of searchable and shareable archived video of official state proceedings.
  • An additional 16,000 hours of unedited and spin-free coverage of news conferences, interviews, campaigns, elections, and related civic events.

As an independent, non-partisan not-for-profit resource, WisconsinEye has relied on charitable donations to support our operations budget. But this funding approach is no longer sustainable in what has become a highly competitive, post-pandemic philanthropic environment.

WisconsinEye needs to raise a critical $250,000 (three months of our operating budget) to allow state Capitol programming to resume.

If you value WisconsinEye’s window into state government, where citizens can see for themselves, consider events and issues in context, draw their own conclusions, and most importantly participate in the process of governance — Please consider joining the movement to save WisconsinEye.
