Our supporters
The work we do at the American Journalism Project is made possible by the generosity of our supporters. We are grateful for their commitment to nonprofit news and for their support of our vision.

Our supporters include philanthropic individuals, family foundations, institutional funders and corporate partners — all who see the urgency of the crisis facing local news, and share our vision for sustainable nonprofit local news.
As we pursue this mission to establish and sustain local journalism as a public good, we are thankful to have these donors and partners alongside us:
