Event Overview
57+ foundations have joined forces to launch Press Forward, the first national multi-year initiative that has already raised $500 million and aims to expand philanthropy’s role to support local journalism. On this conference call the director, Dale Robinson Anglin, and Christina Shih will talk about Press Forward’s goals, the first open call for proposals, and why ethnic media should consider applying.
The deadline for submission for the first round of grants is June 12. As Press Forward develops chapters around the country, it aims to raise the visibility of all local news outlets filling vital news holes for their communities so that they can attract local funding dollars. If your news outlet doesn’t qualify for the first round of funding, you should consider creating a JustFund account to be searchable to funders.
