Donate now to help us hire a full-time investigative journalist
This year Ricochet Media turns 10 — that’s a decade of fearless, award-winning journalism.
We are still a small but mighty team dedicated to public-interest journalism that matters. Together, we’ve built something truly amazing. Now, we need your help to take our mission to the next level.
This kind of journalism requires time, dedication, and resources. It requires boots-on-the-ground, hours of research, meticulous editing, and the courage to ask the tough questions.
Imagine the impact of having someone dedicated solely to digging deep into Indigenous, climate, housing, labour and human rights issues. From exposing corruption and holding the powerful accountable to amplifying voices from the margins, this will be an investigative beat covering issues that directly impact you.
But we can't do it alone. We need your support to make this vision a reality. Your donation will not only fund the salary of our investigative journalist, but also provide the resources they need to pursue stories without fear.

Over the years, we’ve had many victories together. Our reporting has helped push critical Indigenous and undercovered stories into the mainstream, like Fairy Creek and Wet’suwet’en. Last summer’s investigative project #InvestigatingAirbnb partnered with Pivot Media and succeeded in pushing those in power to make meaningful policy moves — Including legislative change in two provinces and one city tied directly to our reporting.
We’ve also been leaders in fighting for press freedom. Ricochet helped lead a coalition of outlets and media orgs that took the RCMP to court over press freedom violations — and won.
Recently we’ve been collaborating with other independent outlets who share our goals and values. Our partners IndigiNews and the Real News Network in the U.S. make it possible for us to fund reporting trips to remote Indigenous communities led by journalist Brandi Morin. That work has won several awards, including the Canadian Hillman Prize for a short documentary on industrial pollution and its impact on Indigenous communities in Alberta.
Without your support, public interest investigative journalism could go extinct. Help us keep speaking truth to power.
Goal
Join us to help us fund a new full-time investigative journalist. We need more investigative journalism in Canada.
That means if 250 people donate $25 per month we can create a new staff position for a journalist — someone to dig deep into corporate greed, corruption, and shine a light on undercovered issues.
Whether you can give $10, $15 or $25 a month, your contribution will make a big difference.
