Torstar Journalism Foundation

The Torstar Journalism Foundation supports journalism that serves the public interest across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The foundation funds reporting on issues affecting communities, with a focus on accountability, investigation, and storytelling that informs residents about local matters. It provides grants to news organizations and journalists working on projects that shed light on social issues, civic governance, and community concerns. The foundation recognizes that strong local journalism requires sustainable funding, especially as newsrooms face ongoing financial pressures. By investing in quality reporting, the foundation helps ensure that communities have access to the information they need to understand their neighbourhoods and participate in civic life.
