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.
Turn conference networking from luck into strategy: The Lenfest News Philanthropy Network is welcoming Jake Hylton (LOOKOUT News) for a free, three-part virtual workshop, Tuesdays Sept. 22–Oct. 6 at 2pm ET, on engineering real connections with funders. Learn the prep, psychology, and in-room tactics that replace transactional fundraising with meaningful relationships.
Sign up to join the News Philanthropy Network and learn more about programs and trainings, job opportunities, and more.
This free, virtual, first-of-its-kind convening was launched in 2021 to cover topics that impact news organizations and their vital fundraising efforts.
