Your donations help us hold the powerful accountable in Oklahoma

Over the past year, I’ve reported stories for The Frontier about families that struggle to find legal help when they are involved in the child welfare system, about a man who was left paralyzed on the streets after being discharged from two Tulsa hospitals, and about a new treatment program that tries to get people with mental illness out of the Oklahoma County jail. 

Help Support the Frontier


Make a one-time donation below, or check the recurring monthly donation option to join Friends of the Frontier, our membership of sustaining monthly donors, to enjoy some extra perks.
 

    

I was able to collaborate with The Curbside Chronicle to report on what happens to people who are too sick to stay in homeless shelters in Oklahoma City, and I talked with state officials about the 42% staff vacancy rate at Oklahoma’s only secure-care facility for youth. 

The people we write about get to share their stories and struggles with their neighbors. People in power are held accountable for the shortcomings of the systems they build and fund. And readers learn more about what is happening in their community. 

This type of in-depth reporting requires weeks and sometimes months of asking for records, tracking down sources and triple-checking every fact in the story. Many newsrooms are unable to spend this kind of time with a story, even one that is important. 

That’s where our community can help. 

Donations to The Frontier fuel our investigative, independent reporting. Every dollar makes a difference for our small but mighty team of reporters. When you donate, you are supporting a newsroom that cares about the future of our state and is committed to getting you the facts. 

If you’ve thought about donating, now is the time — through Dec. 31, donations to The Frontier will be matched by a collaborative fundraising movement called NewsMatch that supports independent, public-service journalism. We can earn up to $50,000 in matched donations. 

Thank you for supporting our reporting.
