Support the Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues Endowed Fund

The Institute for Rural Journalism has a mission of helping rural journalists define the public agenda in their communities through strong reporting and commentary - especially on issues that have local impact but often lack good local sources.

The IRJCI publishes The Rural Blog, a daily digest of events, trends, issues and journalism from and about rural America; Kentucky Health News, and independent news service supported by the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky; and the Midway Messenger, an online newspaper for the Woodford County town with coverage by students in the college's community journalism courses.

You can support the Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues Endowed Fund on this page. If you'd like to give to another fund that is not listed, please use the search box in the upper right of this page and type in the desired fund to make your gift. We are grateful for your support!
