What an incredible journey it’s been! We've just concluded the Racial Equity in Journalism Fund Blue Engine Collaborative Revenue Program, a dynamic partnership with Borealis Philanthropy. Over the past few months, 16 U.S.-based publishers came together in small, focused 'pods' to dive deep into revenue challenges and opportunities. Each of the 5 pods offered a uniquely tailored experience, guided expertly by Fran Scarlett, Cierra Hinton, Ryan Tuck, and Sabrina Passos Cimenti. Our teams revamped their media kits, refined customer value propositions, and designed campaigns that truly resonate within their communities. More than that, they transformed every event into a revenue opportunity and learned the ins and outs of grassroots fundraising. A heartfelt thanks to our partners at Borealis Philanthropy, and to Alicia Bell, DaLyah Jones, Manami Kano and Jessica Nguyen. from the REJ Fund team for their invaluable support and dedication to empowering communities of color. We’re not just excited about the revenue boosts—seeing the passionate engagement and real progress made by all involved has been deeply inspiring. The lessons learned and connections made have laid a foundation for more resilient, impactful journalism.
