Philanthropy and Nonprofit Accountability Fellowship

The Chronicle of Philanthropy, a nonprofit news organization that covers charities, foundations and others involved in advancing the social good, offers fellowships to four U.S.-based local newsrooms each year to help them better cover philanthropy in their communities. The goal is to give local news organizations access to the tools and training they need to write powerful stories that examine the role of nonprofits and foundations in their communities and attract and engage more readers.

Fellows work closely with reporters in The Chronicle of Philanthropy newsroom to develop, report and publish articles about the people and organizations in their regions that are trying to solve pressing problems. They will also have opportunities to learn from partners at the Associated Press.

Each of the four news organizations selected for the fellowship will receive $30,000 to enhance their coverage of nonprofits.
