The Western Iowa Journalism Foundation was recently awarded a $200,000 two-year grant from the Heider Family Foundation in support of our mission.
This generous investment will help us accelerate critical efforts to strengthen digital infrastructure, support innovation in rural newsrooms, and ensure that trusted, independent journalism remains a vibrant force in western Iowa communities.
The Heider Family Foundation has a long and respected history of supporting impactful, community-centered initiatives—and we’re honored to have their partnership in working toward sustainable solutions for local news.
