The 19th

This grant supports The 19th, an independent, nonprofit newsroom reporting at the intersection of gender, politics, and policy. Its goal is to become the news organization of record for women and to give those most under-reflected in American media a more representative seat at the table. This grant maintains editorial independence for the newsroom and is intended only to provide general operating support.

The 19th is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization based in Austin, Texas, established in 2020. It was founded to shine a light on the unfinished business of the 19th Amendment and empower women — particularly those underserved by and underrepresented in American media — with the information, community, and tools they need to be equal participants in our democracy. This sponsorship grant will support The 19th Represents, a week of bipartisan virtual events that raise the voices of women — past and present — who are reshaping the American story.
