The Fund for Alternative Journalism supports the future of local media by investing in community-based, public-interest journalism and investigative reporting. We are focused on alternative-weekly media outlets that have made us laugh, made us think, and connected us to arts, culture, politics, and civic life for decades.

You can sign-up here for our quarterly newsletter, and you can make a contribution to support our work here. We hope you will join us.

The Fund is fiscally sponsored by Panorama Global, an independent, 501(c)(3) organization that partners with leading social-impact organizations to accept charitable contributions on their behalf.

As the Fund begins our work, we are initially supporting two leading alternative-weeklies, the Seattle-based Stranger and Portland-based Mercury. We plan to grow our work beyond these publications.
