WisconsinEye Launches GoFundMe Campaign

 

By - Jan 12th, 2026 09:01 am

For the past 18 years, 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. Without this funding, WisconsinEye could lose up to four highly skilled staff members, thus putting the network at considerable risk of failure.

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.
