Giving Tuesday is more than a global day of generosity — it’s an opportunity to invest in the leaders and decision-makers of the future by supporting news literacy. At the News Literacy Project, every day is a step toward equipping educators, students and communities with the tools to discern fact from fiction and make informed decisions based on credible information.

Thanks to our generous supporters, we’ve achieved remarkable milestones (you can read about them in our latest annual report!), but there’s still so much work to do. Here’s what your support makes possible:

  • Empowering educators: Tools like Checkology® and resources such as The Sift® are helping teachers integrate news literacy into classrooms across all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
  • Reaching students nationwide: NLP’s programs equip young people with critical thinking skills to evaluate the flood of information they encounter every day.
  • Spreading the word: With initiatives like RumorGuard™ and National News Literacy Week, we’re creating champions for facts and combating the spread of misinformation.

This Giving Tuesday, help us make an even greater impact. A gift of just $5 a month can fuel the development of resources that thousands of students and teachers use every day for free! Plus, this year, every dollar you give will go even further thanks to a $500K matching challenge from philanthropists Melanie and Richard Lundquist.

You can also amplify our mission by sharing our #GivingTuesday posts on social media (@newslitproject) to help spread the word about the critical need for news literacy education.

Together, we can make news literacy a priority in classrooms nationwide and prepare young people with the skills and knowledge to lead us into a fact-based future.

Thank you for standing with us to create a more informed and engaged society!
