Big River Magazine has been sharing stories and information about the Upper Mississippi River and the Driftless Area for more than 31 years. Help us grow and get better for the next 31 years.

We are the only independent publication that focuses on the Mississippi River. We want to increase our inpact by increasing both the quality and quantity of information that we provide to the people in our region.

The next step is for the newly formed nonprofit Big River Voice to acquire Big River Magazine and launch several new and exciting projects for our subscribers. This will allow us to:

• Create an online searchable library making available all 31 years of Big River Magazine;

• Publish more original, in-depth, investigative stories;

• Host regular public events that will bring together readers, Big River staff and a variety of river experts to share ideas and concerns, and to celebrate all that we love about this area;

• Provide a quality online version of Big River and more frequent updates of news and events.

• Increase our circulation by offering Big River in more formats and through more channels.

There is no other publication anywhere like Big River, and we will continue publishing and improving the print version of the magazine. Help us grow and thrive into the future.

We need to raise $150,000 to launch the next step. No contribution is too large or too small. For more details about Big River Voice, click here.

For the next few months tax-exempt donations pass through our fiscal sponsor, the Winona Community Foundation. Checks should be written to “Winona Community Foundation for Big River Voice” or “WCF for Big River Voice.”
