Support Our Mission
Invest in community-centered journalism, amplify unheard voices, and strengthen civic engagement and democracy.
The Front Porch Movement is fiscally sponsored by Do Good Productions, while we await approval as our own 501(3)(c). We accept individual donations and grants to support our work.
We’re grateful to our supporters whose investment makes this work possible; independent journalism that elevates overlooked voices and strengthens civic engagement in communities across the country.
Join visionary supporters funding the future of local storytelling and civic dialogue.
People who encounter our work often tell us that these conversations feel different. One supporter described the stories as “interesting and intelligent,” adding: “This is amazing. This is human. This is how people are feeling.” She believes the conversations we create can move people, build understanding, and inspire stronger community engagement. We believe that too. Our goal is to produce more stories, in more communities, with more diverse voices; stories that help people better understand one another and the issues shaping our future.
Your support makes this work possible.
Communities across the nation are losing trusted news sources and spaces for honest conversation. Your investment in the Front Porch Movement restores front porch-style dialogue, elevates overlooked voices, and strengthens democracy from the ground up. Donors like you empower journalism that changes communities and shapes lasting civic trust.
We welcome support from individual donors, philanthropic foundations, and funding partners who believe in the importance of community-centered journalism and civic engagement. With your help, the Front Porch Movement can expand its reporting, reach new audiences, and continue creating a platform where people can share their stories and perspectives.
Why Us, Why Now?
We live in a time of constant information. From the moment we wake up until the end of the day, we are surrounded by headlines, emails, social media posts, and breaking news alerts. In many ways, we are more connected than ever before. Yet much of what we consume is brief, fragmented, and quickly forgotten. Too often we skim past the depth and perspective needed to truly understand the issues shaping our lives.
The Front Porch Movement was created to slow that moment down and focus on the stories that matter. Through thoughtful journalism and community storytelling, we connect audiences with diverse voices and lived experiences that inform, inspire, and help us better understand one another.
Partner with us to transform community journalism today.
Together, we can strengthen conversations that connect communities rather than divide them.
