Opportunity to Expand

This pilot is just the beginning.

While four newsrooms will be selected, many more across western Iowa face the same challenges—and are ready for transformation. With additional funding, we can expand the cohort and accelerate the impact of this model.


Every dollar invested goes directly toward:

  • Modernizing newsroom infrastructure 

  • Expanding digital audience reach 

  • Building sustainable revenue streams 

The return is immediate and long-lasting: stronger local news, more informed communities, and a healthier democracy.

Join us in expanding this effort. Your investment will bring this opportunity to more newsrooms—and more communities that depend on them.
