Dear friends and supporters,

The Hortencia Zavala Foundation and The Fulcrum are joining forces in 2026 to expand opportunities for the next generation of journalists.

Together, they are expanding The Fulcrum Fellowship, hosting two cohorts of students—one in the summer and one in the fall.

The Fulcrum Fellowship, part of The Fulcrum’s NextGen initiative, is a 10-week immersive program that trains students from across the country in solutions journalism and complicating the narrative techniques. Fellows learn to produce stories that counter one‑dimensional narratives too common in mainstream media, while amplifying underrepresented voices and perspectives.

Your support is vital. By donating, you help sustain these programs, expand opportunities for students, and strengthen the civic infrastructure on which our democracy depends.

Contributions are tax‑deductible and go directly toward advancing the mission of these initiatives.
