Promoting news literacy, protecting the First Amendment
and enhancing the capabilities of community newspapers
NNAF relies on charitable contributions — from those who share a passion for and belief in the vital importance of community journalism — to fulfill its ongoing mission and support the future of community newspapers.
Recognizing the vital role of journalism for communities and the preservation of democracy, numerous philanthropic organizations offer funding to support special journalism projects and news reporting initiatives.
The National Newspaper Association Foundation (NNAF) is a nonprofit trade association representing the owners, publishers and editors of America’s community newspapers. NNAF is a sister organization of the National Newspaper Association (NNA).
