Press Forward—recently recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Not-for Profit Companies of 2025—is a nonpartisan coalition working to strengthen communities by reinvigorating local news.
Their work is responsive, timely and essential: As threats to democracy, press freedom, independent journalism, and nonprofits in general become increasingly urgent in the U.S., the need for trusted, community-centered reporting is more urgent than ever.
We’ve partnered with Press Forward because we believe every American — regardless of zip code — deserves access to reliable, local information to engage meaningfully in civic life.
Join us to learn more about how to take action to support this essential public good. Over breakfast with your fellow Forward Global members, Press Forward will share:
• Insights into emerging models for sustainable, community-based solutions
• A discussion of local news deserts and how they’re being addressed
• A candid view into how philanthropy — particularly, collective action from individuals working alongside foundations — has the power to advance civic resilience
If you can join us please email pressforward@forward-global.org by May 23, as space is very limited.
