Here are four ways you can GET INVOLVED 1 ADVICE - Share knowledge to increase our impact Sharing with us your knowledge of how to amplify The Stringer Foundation’s impact around the globe is of crucial relevance. Additionally, any content you choose to share with your own network and following (whether it is social, editorial, or professional), be it a striking statistic, a short narrative, or your perspective on our work, is uniquely important. 2 CAPITAL - Donate to support our journalists and programs Support brave journalism and be a catalyst for change: your donation empowers brave journalists who risk everything to hold power accountable and shine light on the world's most critical, underreported stories. You can contribute to scaling up courageous journalism and nurturing the next generation of brave reporters. Whether you give monthly or once, every contribution makes a difference. 3 ACCESS - Introduce us to valuable people and institutions As The Stringer Foundation grows institutionally, contacts in government, policy, legal, or regulatory positions, who can provide access to press freedom advocacy or journalist protection, are of paramount importance. Your generous trust in providing access to people and institutions who are aligned with our mission and wish to be in contact is appreciated and, if desired, will be recognized. 4 CIRCLES - Host groups around courageous journalism To build a structural relationship with universities, journalism schools, and student organizations is the partnership of dreams. The genuine value of proximity and a connection to the yearly Stringer Awards finalists and their experience, their personal stories and their work is deeply valuable access most students or members wouldn't otherwise get.
