What does it mean to be a Crosscut member? It means you make it possible for our journalists to write the stories our region needs to hear. Here’s the kind of impact you can make with a monthly gift:

With a $5/month membership, you help give our reporters time to dig deep in their research before writing a story. This leads to the reliable, fact-based coverage you read on Crosscut. As a thank you, you’ll receive a Crosscut window decal.

For $10/month, you make it possible for us to partner on community events such as our monthly Civic Cocktail, or our recent gatherings focused on ethnic media and virtual reality. With this gift, you’ll receive a Crosscut/KCTS9 thumb drive.

When you give $25/month, you provide enough support to produce one of our long-form, in-depth feature articles, and we’ll send you a Big Bertha Tote Bag, which says “when we dig deep, it goes somewhere.”

With a gift of $50/month, you enable us to team up with a videographer to produce a video segment that runs with our written coverage, and as a thank you, our team will hand-deliver a fruit pie to your office!

For $100/month, you fund a three-month editorial internship so that we can train the next generation of journalists, and you’ll have a reserved seat at the exclusive Quarterly Editor’s Roundtable with Crosscut Editor-in-Chief Greg Hanscom.

With a $200/month gift, you underwrite a month’s worth of legislative coverage, and we’ll reserve a VIP Table for you and 9 guests at the 2016 Courage Awards.

In addition, as a member you’ll receive discounts on all Crosscut events, have the opportunity to be featured in the donor section of the Crosscut website, and receive special invitations to exclusive events with local civic leaders.
