News Revenue Hub

News Revenue Hub (the Hub) is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to helping non-profit news organizations build financial sustainability. The Hub has developed an innovative product and service solution that helps news organizations build, manage, and grow membership programs that prioritizes informing communities and receiving support from the community. This general operating grant helps the Hub explore new pathways to build its capacity—which may include more robust joint-service agreements with strategic partners, mergers with other journalism support organizations (JSOs), or becoming the umbrella for smaller JSOs.

News Revenue Hub is a nonprofit organization that assists newsrooms in identifying and implementing solutions that will lead to greater sustainability. This grant will support a research and data collection project intended to provide an up-to-date and accurate assessment of Chicago's local news ecosystem, including the size and scope of the media landscape, gaps in coverage, and the needs and opportunities that can be addressed through philanthropic investment.
