The Badger Project is an independent news nonprofit in Wisconsin that investigates politicians, their wealthy donors, law enforcement and related matters.
We are members of the Institute for Nonprofit News and the Local Independent Online News Publishers.
With the decline of local newspapers across the state, we aim to fill some of that gap. We partner with news outlets across Wisconsin to publish our stories and get our work to the people it affects most.
