We make grants to help transform journalism and communities.

Where We Work

Local grants in the Communities Program improve the quality of life in the Foundation's 26 communities of interest as defined below. To be eligible for consideration, funding requests must benefit one or more of these communities, although the organization submitting the request may be located outside the project area.

The Foundation also encourages proposals that address these communities' opportunities on a regional level. Requests for support of local projects outside the geographic areas listed will not be considered.
