ABOUT URL COLLECTIVE

URL Collective is a nonprofit organization that strengthens the long-term sustainability of community media. We support community-based, legacy, and emerging news organizations—especially those serving Black and Brown communities—through funding, capacity-building, training, and strategic partnerships.

By investing in the people, organizations, and infrastructure behind trusted local journalism, we help build stronger news ecosystems that ensure communities have access to reliable, representative information.
