Our purpose is to promote press freedom and access to liberal journalism across the world. Our latest impact report highlights the work of The Guardian Foundation in 2024/25, and the difference we have made to over 20,000 young people, educators, journalists and news organisations in schools and across communities. That’s more people than ever before.
Disinformation was named as the number one risk to the global population by the World Economic Forum in 2024. Through school workshops, teacher training and resources we’re equipping young people with the skills to recognise quality, accurate news.
Media professionals around the world are working in environments where press freedom is under attack, business models need to evolve and democracy is compromised. We support journalists and media organisations to not just continue their work but to build sustainable models more resilient to the challenges they are facing.
Great journalism should include diverse perspectives, from a range of sources, to enable informed decision making. We are committed to removing the barriers to entry that exist in journalism. We create pathways for talented people from underrepresented backgrounds to enter and thrive in journalism, ensuring newsrooms reflect the diversity of the audiences they serve.
