The Edward W. Forry and Mary Casey Forry Foundation
For Community Journalism

Dedicated to strengthening local news and civic engagement by supporting journalism that informs, connects, and uplifts communities.

Founded on the belief that a well-informed public is essential to a healthy democracy, the Forry Foundation for Community Journalism works to preserve and advance the tradition of trusted, independent reporting that reflects the voices and stories of Boston’s neighborhoods and beyond.

Through strategic partnerships, grants, and educational initiatives, the Forry Foundation invests in the future of local media and the journalists who bring it to life. Our mission is to ensure that community-based journalism continues to thrive—fostering accountability, amplifying diverse perspectives, and inspiring civic pride and participation for generations to come.

Local journalism has never been more important- or more endangered.”
