The #WeTheCivic Narrative Partnerships Fund
We’re launching a two-year, $5M #WeTheCivic Fund to build durable narrative infrastructure and coalitions for the nonprofit sector to defend and advance civic storytelling and journalism that can weather political storms, defend democracy, and drive generational change.
The Challenge
Democracy won’t be built in a day. Neither will the narrative infrastructure to defend it.
The nonprofit sector employs 12 million Americans. It represents 5.6% of GDP. Yet nonprofit stories are fragmented, undervalued, or made invisible.
Journalism, nonprofits, and multiracial democracy are under attack. #WeTheCivic is fighting back. But real narrative power requires sustained investment.
Your Impact
We’re running a small dollar and foundation campaign to fund the #WeTheCivic Narrative Partnerships Fund. Every single dollar will go to:
Local Newsroom Support: Partnerships with at least 150 local and community newsrooms to amplify their work on a national platform over the next year
Worker Storytelling: Paying at least 100 new frontline nonprofit workers, activists, artists, and organizers equitable wages to share their first-person #WeStoodUp stories
Nonprofit Sector Solutions Journalism: Producing monthly longform and solutions journalism by and about the nonprofit sector
Digital Security: Adding DeleteMe memberships for nonprofit workers and democracy leaders publishing their stories
Accessible Opportunities: Spanish-language, audio, and ASL translations of webinars and articles
Leadership Support Scholarships: Funding for 500 nonprofit workers and leaders in low-budget nonprofits to access equity-centered leadership and management resources
