• Corps members — some 250 this service year — produced excellent local journalism that changed laws and policies, held public officials accountable, and informed audiences about undercovered topics and communities. We highlight corps members and their impactful work in this report.

• Report for America’s impact in communities doesn’t end when corps members graduate from the program. Newsrooms report that corps members have sparked long-term rewards of improved community trust with their organization.

• Our host newsrooms grew more financially sustainable. We helped our 200 newsrooms raise $7.4 million in donations, and we paid an additional $3.5 million in direct subsidy for corps salaries.

• Strong editorial partnerships with the University of Missouri, The Associated Press, Investigative Editing Corps and CatchLight amplified and deepened corps members’ work and are a successful model as we continue to grow.

• We expanded our support for newsrooms and corps members — adding, for example, training in artificial intelligence tools — to help them incorporate new skills and work practices as they build newsrooms of the future.

We couldn’t have done this work, or the work we hope to do in future years, without the support of friends like you. So thank you for your commitment to Report for America.
