WHY WE INVESTED
The North Carolina Local News Lab Fund will invest in ideas, people, and organizations that are working to ensure people have access to the news and information they need in North Carolina. The fund will focus on building more healthy news ecosystems as a vital part of just communities and a healthy democracy.Through this fund, we will work closely with local partners to increase giving to local news and invest in long-term solutions — over short-term fixes— in the areas of business models, collaboration, and community engagement.
The NC Local News Lab Fund is creating the space for shared funder learnings about supporting news and information to make a healthier local news ecosystem for North Carolinians.
