Support Our Work

INN believes that independent, nonprofit news is a cornerstone both for our democracy writ large, and for people in local communities large and small to successfully navigate their lives. In these deeply polarizing and dis-information filled times, these newsrooms are the strongholds of truth and public trust.
This is why INN works to ensure its network of 500+ remarkable member newsrooms across the country have the resources and capacity to serve their communities for the long haul.
INN is the essential backbone for its member newsrooms. It strengthens the field through rigorous vetting of all members and effective training and capacity building programs like NewsMatch, which deepens community support for nonprofit newsrooms and enables them to be resilient year after year. Over 90% of INN newsrooms are still in business five years after launch.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your tax-deductible donation helps INN build a nonprofit news field that endures.
Join us in strengthening the infrastructure of truth and trust.
