This Spring Member Drive, join our people-powered newsroom.

No newsroom invests more in reporting on Texas for Texans than The Texas Tribune. If you value reporting that tells the true story of our state — with all the nuance that comes with a population of 29 million people — help us raise $60,000 this Spring Member Drive by giving today.

Your donation will help us ...

Deepen our border coverage

Texas shares more than 1,200 miles of borderland with Mexico, putting our state at the center of policy conversations around immigration and border security. Help us continue to report out the important stories emerging from our southern border with the context that only a Texas-based organization like ours can provide.
Goal: $15,000

Kick our 2020 coverage into high gear

With two Texans in the crowded 2020 field, there are more eyes — and dollars — on our state than ever before. Help us ask the questions Texans need answers to, keep tabs on campaign finance and follow the races here at home that will decide whether our House majority flips for the first time in 18 years.
Goal: $20,000

Keep tabs on voting rights

This year’s botched review of state voter rolls put Texas voting rights issues on the national stage once again. Help us continue to take a solutions-oriented approach to covering this issue by focusing on the people affected by it.
Goal: $15,000

Extend the reach of our events & podcasts

Thousands of Texans tune into our live events and podcasts every year. Help us maintain our accessible-for-all approach by making indexed transcriptions a part of our podcast and events workflow.
Goal: $10,000

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sustaining membership?

A sustaining membership means your donation recurs automatically on a monthly or yearly basis via credit card. This provides the Tribune with the sort of predictable revenue that allows us to plan budgets a few years at a time, and it helps eliminate renewal mailings or lapses in your membership.

How can I renew my membership?

Sustaining memberships automatically renew on a monthly or yearly basis. If you need to update your billing information, or your membership is up for renewal soon, please contact membership@texastribune.org.
