The Chronicle\u2019s Philanthropic Support<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Chronicle of Philanthropy is an independent nonprofit dedicated to providing fact-based information, actionable insights and solutions, and professional training to people who lead nonprofits and foundations. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another essential piece of our mission is to help the public better understand philanthropy\u2019s impact, with a special focus on working with journalists around the nation to improve the breadth and sophistication of their coverage of the social sector.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To advance both elements of this mission, we rely on a mix of earned income (such as subscriptions, webinar fees, and advertising) and philanthropic support.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all our grant-funded work, Chronicle reporters and editors determine themes and approaches. None of our benefactors know before publication what topics and angles we are pursuing, and their grants have no influence on our coverage. <\/span>Read more about our gift-acceptance policy.<\/span><\/b><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such guardrails are essential to our integrity, but we believe it\u2019s also important for all organizations that provide information to be transparent about our sources of support. That\u2019s why we disclose in our magazine, on our website, and in any article that mentions our supporters, the names of the foundations that provide us with philanthropic grants.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For foundations, individuals, and others interested in providing general operating support or in\u00a0offering\u00a0grants that enable the Chronicle to create and expand specific projects, please contact\u00a0our\u00a0Development team at development@philanthropy.com<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building our Organization<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To support our transition in 2023 to spin off from our parent, the Chronicle of Higher Education, we relied on generous support from multiple funders.  We also created an independent board of directors. (Learn more about them <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.)<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the foundation grants for our organizational restructuring supported our earliest stages of work and have been spent. We are in the process now of spending the Lilly Endowment\u2019s capacity building grant, which is active through fall 2026. It is primarily enabling our efforts to build our sustainability and to ensure that we have in place technology that allows us to serve our audiences well with information, live online events, and more.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
