HOW CAN I BECOME A CHALKBEAT MEMBER?

Chalkbeat is a nonprofit newsroom providing essential education reporting in communities across the country. Our journalists are rooted in the places they cover, producing independent, substantive reporting that helps families, educators, and communities understand what’s happening in their schools — and why it matters. When you donate to Chalkbeat, you become a member, and help make that journalism possible. You will get access to Chalkbeat member-only events and become a part of a community of readers who are passionate about education journalism.

Give at any level to become a Chalkbeat member and help sustain independent education journalism. Chalkbeat is a part of Civic News Company, a nonprofit news organization. Your tax-exempt donation supports local-first reporting in communities across the country with information gaps.
