Invest in Journalism That Preserves History

The stories of veterans are part of our collective history.

Yet countless stories of leadership, sacrifice, resilience, innovation, and service are lost every year because they are never documented, preserved, or shared.

​

The Ledger works with foundations, grantmakers, trusts, and philanthropic institutions that believe journalism plays a vital role in preserving history, strengthening communities, advancing education, and creating understanding.

​

Grant support helps fund investigative reporting, oral histories, archival preservation, educational initiatives, special editorial projects, fellowships, research, and expanded storytelling efforts.
