The California Civic Media Program is a public-private partnership that invests directly in California’s state and local newsrooms. By funding the organizations doing original, fact-based journalism, the program aims to close information gaps, strengthen communities, and ensure California’s press reflects the people it serves.

For general questions, feedback on the 2026 funding round, or recommendations for the 2027 funding round, please email the California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) directly at CACivicMedia@gobiz.ca.gov.
