Program areas at Media Impact Funders

Media Impact Funders is a membership organization that advances the work of a broad range of Funders committed to effective use and support of Media in the public interest. In addition to hosting in-person and online convenings, we also manage a growing network of journalism Funders and organize their annual meeting. We work with foundations and other philanthropy-serving organizations to incorporate Media into their own meetings. We publish original news spotlighting Funders and exemplary Media, and partner with foundations and other organizations to publish research reports. We also maintain a database of information for Funders and Media makers who are interested in learning more about Media Impact assessment.
