About the Fellowships

The Chronicle’s Philanthropy & Nonprofit Accountability Fellowship works with local news organizations to encourage them to provide regular coverage on how charitable organizations in their communities are making a difference — and to track where they fall short. Each news organization spends a year getting coaching from the Chronicle about how to report on nonprofits and training on why such coverage matters to readers, listeners, and others.

Support for the fellowship programs comes from the Lilly Endowment, which supports work by the Associated Press, the Conversation, and the Chronicle to advance public understanding of the nonprofit world.
