The Scripps Howard Fund, a public charity established by The E.W. Scripps Co., and the private Scripps Howard Foundation has totaled up the millions of dollars awarded to community and journalism programs during 2025.
And, it is a 12% increase from 2024, with $11 million given last year.
The Fund and Foundation support communities where The E.W. Scripps Company does business, while their journalism programs and funding reach people across the country. The Fund and Foundation also partner with the Scripps and Howard families to support causes important to them.
“In 2025, we saw communities across the country strengthened through the power of connection – whether it was giving children the gift of books, equipping aspiring journalists with the skills to tell important stories or rallying together in times of crisis,” said Meredith Delaney, President/CEO of the Scripps Howard Fund. “Our vision to uplift communities guided every grant and campaign, and our mission continues to drive this meaningful work.”
The Fund’s 2025 giving included $2.3 million invested in communities served by The E.W. Scripps Company.
