Our Goal

Your donation will support the SacSchoolBeat student journalists who are part of the Sacramento County Student Education Reporter program. Your contribution will allow us to work with more student journalists to cover education on campuses and in school districts in the Sacramento region. SacSchoolBeat's primary funder, the Sacramento County Office of Education, ended its participation in the program at the end of the 2024-25 school year, and SacSchoolBeat almost closed in June. But a timely mini-grant from the Sacramento Press Club allowed us to conduct our summer training and continue the program at least through the end of the fall semester.
