You’ve likely seen news about how nonprofits like Poynter rely on support from readers like you now more than ever. That’s true — but what matters most is why and how your support makes a difference: for journalists, our communities and the health of democracy itself.

This year, as Poynter celebrates its 50th anniversary, we launched a membership program designed to connect your support for fact-based journalism with real, impactful outcomes.

Here’s a closer look at the difference you can make:

* $5 per month: Helps us produce daily fact-checks across major social media platforms, keeping you informed about what is true and what is not online.
* $25 per month: Brings media literacy to classrooms worldwide, equipping the next generation with the tools they need to navigate digital spaces safely and smartly.
* $50 or more per month: Empowers talented journalists to receive scholarships to Poynter’s leadership academies, ensuring newsroom leaders have access to quality training.

Each membership level also comes with benefits, from behind-the-scenes content to virtual meet-and-greets that connect you with Poynter staff and other members. Yet no matter the level, your support has a positive impact on journalists and the communities we strengthen.

I invite you to explore membership options at poynter.org/give ([link removed]) and find what resonates with you.

With appreciation,

Aaron Sharockman

Vice President, Sales and Strategic Partnerships
