Dear ,

You’ve seen how 2024 has been a pivotal year for journalism — and how Poynter has been there every step of the way. Over 40,000 journalists and over 300 news organizations turned to us for training and support this year.

Our mission has always been to strengthen journalism in service to democracy. From empowering young writers and supporting diverse leaders to bolstering local news and combating misinformation, Poynter makes a difference in our industry and communities.

As we close out 2024, your support is essential. We have a goal to raise $15,000 before Dec. 31 from readers like you to sustain our work and expand our impact.

When you make a gift this holiday season, you directly support:

• Training and professional development for journalists at every career stage

• Scholarships that keep our programs accessible to talented journalists

• Fact-checking education and resources that encourage media literacy

Your gift will help us start 2025 strong and ready to serve even more journalists and news organizations. By contributing to our year-end campaign, you're not just supporting today's journalists — you're investing in journalism’s future.

With sincere appreciation,
