A message from founder Kelly-Anne Riess
I know reader-funded journalism can work in our region, and I hope you believe it too.
Soon after launching The Flatlander newsletter in 2021, I asked for readers’ help to fund our first in-depth feature. We raised $600 in donations that directly paid for a story about the challenges of accessing disability benefits from MPI and SGI following a vehicle accident. I heard so much positive feedback from our readers that I want to keep developing The Flatlander so we can take a closer look at other important issues here, too.
Your contributions help us tell stories that have long gone untold in our part of the Prairies, and ensure that we can pay our freelance writers a fair wage. Every dollar makes a difference, especially in these early days, but monthly recurring contributions are what will keep us sustainable in the long run.
What do you say? Will you help us take a closer look at the stories that shape our lives here in Saskatchewan and Manitoba?
Become a member of The Flatlander by donating monthly. Thanks in advance for your generosity.
