Open for
sponsorships.
Read our editorial-independence policy before applying. We accept support from foundations, libraries, universities, and civic-tech funders whose mission is compatible with accountability journalism on Michigan public institutions.
No current sponsors as of 2026. As we close on fiscal-sponsor approval we'll publish funder names, gift ranges, and engagement terms here.
Partner newsrooms: 18 across Michigan. All stories published under Creative Commons; partners reuse without ad pre-roll or paywall.
Sponsors receive a logo placement and an annual-report mention. They do not receive editorial pre-review, draft access, choice of beat, or veto on coverage. If we report on you, that reporting is exactly the work we would have done without your funding.
We disclose funder identity on relevant stories in the dateline.
We do not take money from: private-prison operators, parole-monitoring companies, prison commissary contractors, jail phone-call companies, electronic-monitoring vendors, surveillance-tech vendors, candidate committees, partisan PACs, or industry trade associations.
A form can replace this email link once a live intake URL exists. Foundation program officers welcome to write editor@insidemichigan.org directly.
