Building Colorado’s Information Future.

Colorado Media Project strengthens Colorado’s local news and information ecosystem by funding trusted local outlets, catalyzing cross-sector collaboration, and investing in and advocating for sustainable solutions that expand access, foster accountability, and build stronger, more connected communities.

Our new website is the hub where we unite foundations, newsrooms, and community partners to align strategies and invest in long-term resilience across the state.

Colorado Gives Day is here! Local newsrooms participating in the NewsCOneeds campaign are working to expand essential coverage, build trust, and deepen connections with the communities they serve. When Coloradans support local news, they strengthen civic participation and ensure greater access to timely and reliable information.

The campaign continues to bring Colorado newsrooms together to strengthen access to trusted, locally relevant information. Each week, we see greater momentum as outlets engage their communities, share impact, and demonstrate how a strong local news and information ecosystem supports more informed and connected communities across the state. We look forward to another week of collaboration that advances the credible, fact-based information Coloradans rely on to participate confidently in their communities. https://mtyc.co/gxw22g

Today, we’re launching the 2025 campaign, a statewide movement to support the local news and information Coloradans count on every day!

This support is more critical than ever. The local news we all rely on to hold leaders accountable and find common ground is at risk. As economic pressures mount, we are at risk of losing access to this vital information—especially in Colorado's rural communities.

To help, we've launched a $175,000 statewide fund. When you give to one of 41 local Colorado newsrooms, your donation will be multiplied, providing a critical lifeline.

Your support is a direct investment in a stronger, better-informed Colorado.
Join us. Make a gift that multiplies: https://mtyc.co/m4yh1f
