A new report by Report for America takes an in-depth look at special funds being formed between foundations and local newsrooms that result in more donors and more dollars for local news. A game-changing tool for local leaders, Community News Funds provide longer-term, more sustainable relationships between local foundations and newsrooms.

Join us to hear from the foundations and newsrooms featured in the report, and from Report for America staff, who can show you how to take this new strategy back to your local leaders to create your own Community News Fund.
