Local news grows stronger when someone invests in the people behind it. That’s the job of the Iowa Local News Foundation: funding the training, talent, and ideas that carry Iowa’s newsrooms forward.
Whether it’s a trained reporter, a paid internship, or a new skill that keeps a small newsroom competitive, every dollar given to the Foundation becomes something a newsroom couldn’t otherwise afford. Your support doesn’t just help one newspaper; it strengthens the entire pipeline that keeps local journalism alive in Iowa.
As a convenor and collaborator across Iowa’s local news landscape, we know where your investment will make the biggest impact, connecting it to the newsrooms, students, and programs that need it most.
