Support Project Optimist with a donation!

Project Optimist (formerly The Optimist) publishes a weekly newsletter with solutions journalism and local art from greater Minnesota. Our stories cover innovations to environmental, business and social issues. We are also out in the community training reporters, helping nonprofits with their storytelling and coordinating conversations around tough topics. Your support keeps Project Optimist’s newsletter and events free and accessible.

We’re a proud member of the Tiny News Collective, which aims to support voices historically excluded from media and media ownership. Project Optimist is fiscally sponsored by the Tiny News Collective, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
