Dairyland Sentinel is building a Wisconsin civic institution — original reporting, watchdog journalism, and a mission to strengthen our state’s democracy.


I’m Brian Fraley, founder and publisher. Every story we publish is researched, written, and edited right here in Wisconsin. Your support keeps this work independent, sustainable, and growing. If you value honest reporting, Wisconsin history, and a newsroom that isn’t owned by a national chain. We’re building momentum right now, and early support makes the biggest impact.


Your tax-deductible support today helps us expand reporting and grow this Wisconsin newsroom this summer.


Monthly Support


A recurring gift — even $5 or $10 a month — helps us plan coverage, expand reporting, and build the long‑term stability Wisconsin deserves.


If you believe in this mission, becoming a monthly supporter is the most impactful way to help.


What Your Gift Does


Your gift directly funds original Wisconsin journalism and helps build a civic institution. Here’s how:


  • $5–$15/month Helps cover research time and fact‑checking for every story
  • $25–$50 Supports travel, interviews, and on‑the‑ground reporting
  • $100–$250 Expands our statewide coverage and special projects
  • $500+ Builds long‑term stability, supports contributors, and grows Dairyland Sentinel into a statewide civic institution


Every dollar stays in Wisconsin. Every dollar strengthens independent reporting. Every dollar helps build something that lasts...a non-profit newsroom and online cultural hub by, of, and for Wisconsin.


Thank you for your consideration and your concern for our great state.


Online. On point.

On, Wisconsin.
