Grantmaking

At the Fund, we take a community-centered and collaborative approach to our grantmaking. We facilitate connections among grant partners and funders and share industry insights and expertise so they can grow and flourish. The goal of these grants is to build a stronger news and information ecosystem that serves all of North Carolina.

The Fund supports efforts to boost collaboration, build and strengthen networks, and develop shared processes that make relevant news and information more accessible. From funding organizations focused on solidifying their operations, to making connections among grant partners, to convening funders with a goal of maximizing impact, the North Carolina Local News Fund is working to build a more resilient and connected local news network.
