CELEBRATE GIVING TUESDAY

Help shape the future of the PNA Foundation


Tanya Henderson, executive director of the PNA Foundation, requests your support this Giving Tuesday. In 2024, the foundation committed nearly $100,000 to journalism funding — an unprecedented initiative for us. This crucial work is made possible through the generosity of our donors. If now is not the time for bold action, when will be?
