Trusted Information
& Institutions

Trusted information is the bedrock of an informed citizenry. Without it, communities cannot make sound decisions, hold leaders accountable, or engage meaningfully in civic life. Through The Civic Exchange, we spotlight nonprofit organizations working to protect the integrity of public discourse — from local fact-checkers and investigative journalists to civic educators and media literacy advocates. These efforts ensure that every person, regardless of zip code or background, has access to accurate, trustworthy information they can act on. By supporting this focus area, donors help defend one of democracy’s most essential foundations.
