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.
Sign up to join the News Philanthropy Network and learn more about programs and trainings, job opportunities, and more.
Join the Lenfest Communities of Practice on Thursday, June 11 at 2 p.m. EDT / 11 a.m. PDT to learn how walking tours can function as storytelling platforms, engagement tools, and revenue streams. We’ll also explore practical guidance for designing and piloting a tour in your community.
