For more than 100 years, the Miami Herald / el Nuevo Herald has enriched South Florida’s democracy and served our local community. We connect our diverse communities through our websites, newsletters, video and the social media platforms.
The business fundamentals that long supported journalism have shifted, hampering our ability to provide the crucial, factual news on which we all rely. We know that our community needs more news, investigations and verified reporting than we now can provide.
To meet that need, we are partnering with individuals, foundations and corporations to expand coverage. The newsroom retains editorial control of all content.
Tax-deductible contributions to the Miami Herald Impact Journalism Fund at the Miami Foundation currently support two investigative reporting fellows, two climate reporters, a faith reporter and an arts reporter.
Our next goal: a highly skilled journalist to focus exclusively on the region’s affordability crisis and strategies for increasing economic opportunity for all.
Please help us better serve our community with a tax-deductible gift to the Miami Herald Impact Journalism Fund. Donations of any size help us increase our impact.

Our track record
The Herald-Leader is a Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom that is a regional leader in investigative reporting. Our stories have righted wrong, changed laws and protected Kentucky’s environment, children and the most vulnerable among us. Our work is fair, fearless, factual and unbiased.
Like so many in our media industry, the sweeping Digital Age – from Google and Amazon to Microsoft and Facebook – has sharply affected our business. Local advertising revenue has largely vanished at a time when we know Lexington and all of Kentucky need more news, investigations and verified reporting that we now can provide.
To meet your expectations and that rising need, we are partnering with individuals, foundations and corporations to expand coverage. The newsroom retains editorial control of all content.
Please help us better serve our community with a tax-deductible gift to the Lexington Herald-Leader Impact Journalism Fund through Journalism Funding Partners, a 501(c)3 organization. Donations of any size help us increase our impact, and your gift will help us expand both our staff and our coverage.
