Media Impact Funders is a membership organization that advances the work of a broad range of funders committed to effective use and support of media in the public interest.
Our Approach
Many funders want to collaborate, but without a shared roadmap, even the strongest strategies can remain siloed. With its big-tent approach, MIF helps connect the dots so funders can build upon one another’s work and identify opportunities they might otherwise miss. By creating spaces for learning and collaboration, and by producing practical research and tools, MIF helps funders act with greater clarity, confidence and collective impact.
