Introducing The Lenfest Institute's 10th Anniversary Report: “Five Stories Over Ten Years.” Learn how your support made it possible.
A community of practice for fundraisers and development professionals in journalism.
The Lenfest News Philanthropy Network is a community of practice designed to support and build capacity for fundraising and development professionals in journalism.
Participation in the Network is free, and open to publishers of all sizes and business models — nonprofit, for profit, legacy, start-up, digital, broadcast and print. Our singular and deep focus is on supporting and fostering a cohesive, collaborative, and growing cohort of development professionals who are serving a vital need for news organizations by creating contributed revenue streams.
People increasingly ask and debate how journalism will remain relevant in an AI-saturated information ecosystem. Could the answer be as simple as leaning into the human elements of reporting: building relationships, making ethical decisions, understanding communities and producing original reporting? In this Lenfest News Philanthropy Network on Aug. 26 at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT, we’ll discuss how to use technological limitations for fundraising and engagement opportunities.
