Grants
As a national foundation with local roots, we seek opportunities that can transform both communities and journalism, and help them reach their highest potential. We believe nothing big happens without a big idea, nothing new without a new idea. In every project we fund, the idea comes first. Here are five basics components we are looking for in your ideas:
- Discovery of the facts.
- The vision to see what's possible.
- The courage to push for change.
- The know-how to get it done.
- The tenacity that gets results.
If you believe your grant opportunity fits these criteria, we want to hear from you.
