The Nation’s long-standing dedication to fostering and mentoring early-career journalists, The Nation Fund will expand on that mission while developing rigorous educational programs to train the next generation of boldly independent journalists. Our mission is to invest in the future of a strong independent press by developing a robust framework that lifts up diverse voices and perspectives.
“The Nation Fund for Independent Journalism gives space and opportunity for programs seeded by the magazine to grow sustainably,” says
Erin O’Mara, executive director of The Nation Fund. “While
The Nation has long been grateful for its committed donor base, we’ve also long been aware that many wanted the opportunity to do more. The Nation Fund provides our generous donors with an opportunity to expand their support through the benefit of tax-deductible gifts. As a nonprofit, we will also be able to seek new sources of support that benefit media in the public interest. And while reaching a broader philanthropic community, we vow to continue to expand our reach, our message, and our mission.”
