Our newsroom rallied together as wildfires devastate our communities. We continue to report on what has happened, its impact and how people are getting help. In times of crisis journalists, like those at AfroLA, play a vital role – pointing people toward resources, chronicling stories of resilience and holding public officials accountable. The devastation is clear – but the solutions and support must become clearer. Continued support to AfroLA will help us follow these stories – wherever they lead to help and uplift our communities.
AfroLA is a nonprofit newsroom that covers greater Los Angeles through the lens of the Black community. We’re solutions-focused, data-driven and community-centered journalism.
Initial funders helped us launch and establish our initial operations. Your donation to our efforts will allow us to grow as a financially sustainable news organization. Gifts will go directly to:
* Our editorial operations, including fair pay for the journalists, editors, freelancers, community contributors and staff that make our journalism happen.
* Developing programs that empower current and future journalists to better cover L.A.’s Black communities through education, training and (paid) opportunities
* Maintaining our website (you’re here!)
We are completely devoted to our community and thankful for our various partners. To take our journalism to the next level we need more individual donors like you, ideally to contribute a monthly donation.
You can follow our coverage and be among the first to find out about our programs and coverage by signing up for our newsletter. As a supporter or potential supporter we always want to hear from you. You can contact us with any questions, comments and concerns. In the future we hope to have donor cultivation events, virtual and in-person, and we hope you will join us for these gatherings. Again, thank you for supporting AfroLA.
