• Investing in the Next Generation

    California’s local news ecosystem is in crisis.

    Shrinking staff, declining revenue and fewer training opportunities mean communities risk losing access to trustworthy information.

    Yet interest in journalism among young people is strong and full of potential.

    CPF invests at the earliest stage in the journalism pipeline—in education, students and emerging newsroom talent.


    The future of news depends on collaboration and quality journalism education. When we educate and empower the next generation, we ensure the vitality of quality reporting.

    Now more than ever, communities need strong local journalism.

    Join the movement and help strengthen the pipeline for talented, diverse journalists entering the profession.

  • Strengthen our democracy now and forever.

    We invite individuals, corporations and fellow nonprofit organizations to join hands and contribute to the future of journalism. The future sustainability of journalism relies on financial stability and non-traditional revenue models. Help build a more informed, empathetic and equitable society.

    “The California Press Foundation has earned my financial support because it is California’s oldest and most consistent journalism support organization focused on building new talent in the field through its long-standing internship and equipment grant initiatives,” said Cal Press Director Dr. Paulette Brown-Hinds. “I’m looking forward to seeing all that it can accomplish with the additional resources this campaign can bring.”

    Your contribution to the California Press Foundation is greatly appreciated. Cal Press is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and your donation is tax-deductible as allowed by law. Join us in this vital endeavor to strengthen the future of journalism.
