Civic News Company

This grant supports Votebeat, an project of the Civic News Company which is committed to reporting the nuanced truth about elections and voting at a time of crisis in America. Votebeat’s mission is to encourage voter participation and preserve the legitimacy of elections by providing truthful, objective journalism at the local level, where all elections are carried out and where the dearth of quality information is most acute.

Chalkbeat is the nonprofit news organization covering one of America’s most important stories: the effort to improve schools for all children, especially those who have historically lacked access to a high-quality education. Chalkbeat works to improve and deepen engagement with communities throughout the U.S. and to share learnings about how best to engage low-income and underserved families in conversations about education.
