WisconsinEye needs your financial help to maintain state government watchdog role

Jon Henkes is President/CEO of WisconsinEye.

“Government is at its best when it is transparent, when it does its work in the public eye. This is a valuable service.” 

So reads a 2010 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial supporting the mission of WisconsinEye Public Affairs Network. The newspaper’s comment is rooted in our state’s long history of openness in state government.

WisconsinEye is a rare neutral forum providing live gavel-to-gavel, unedited coverage from the State Capitol.

Independent. Not-for-profit. Free to citizens. 

Since that editorial 15 years ago, WisconsinEye has delivered 30,000+ hours of government and civic programming – all archived, searchable, and sharable. 

To fulfill our mission for the next 12 months, we must raise $1 million in a challenging philanthropic environment.

We are asking corporations, foundations and philanthropists who often generously support other charitable campaigns to consider a gift of impact to keep WisconsinEye moving forward. 

Please join us in ensuring that government truth and transparency remain accessible to all Wisconsinites. Go to wiseye.org/donate or text:  WISEYE to 44321 .
