Program Description:

Over the past few years, the most common request from local news providers has been a simple one: Can you help us survive? It’s a tall order in some cases, yet it’s at the core to our mission. We established the Fund for Local News in 2011 so that we could reach out to grassroots donors as well as foundations to help us support news coverage at the local level, training for community news reporters and our exploration of sustainable business models. The Fund is now our primary channel for donations and grants.
