Overview
NewsMatch is a national funding campaign led by the Miami Foundation, with the goal of increasing stable funding opportunities for local nonprofit newsrooms. With the explicit goal of helping outlets strengthen their local news coverage and build sustainable business models in a fast-changing media environment, the fund has provided access to over $15 million in funding for newsrooms since 2016. Our grant will support NewsMatch in providing funding to newsrooms that are producing and telling stories about education in local contexts. (Substrategy: Community Advocacy and Student Voice)
