Our mission is to educate, inform and engage residents throughout Western Iowa by supporting community journalism to ensure long-term access to accurate local news and investigative reporting.

Local journalism connects the community.

It provides vital information.

It promotes democracy.

But most of all, it helps sustain the community.

Partner with us to keep community journalism alive in Western Iowa.

Our philanthropic initiatives will help build a

STRONGER DEMOCRACY IN WESTERN IOWA

by protecting, strengthening, and expanding
local public interest reporting.

Support Local Journalism

We are in danger of losing our connection to the small communities across the nation.

Why Community Journalism Matters

Iowa-based company RAYGUN is so supportive of the Western Iowa Journalism Foundation's mission, they have agreed to carry a line of WIJF-branded merch – in both English and Spanish!

And best of all, they are donating proceeds back to WIJF!
