Deep Gratitude for Our Donors

At the First Amendment Foundation, we are profoundly thankful for the generosity of those who share our commitment to safeguarding the freedoms of speech, press, and access to government information. Our mission is rooted in the belief that these rights belong to everyone and should serve all communities.

The diversity of our supporters reflects the power and reach of the First Amendment—it speaks to the journalist uncovering the truth, the citizen holding power accountable, the educators inspiring young minds, the attorneys championing justice, and every individual who believes in the right to know. Your support makes this vision a reality.
