Donate to WWG

By donating to the Watchdog Writers Group, you can help support the kind of deep reporting and honest storytelling that is simply indispensable to the functioning of a healthy society. We rely on our donors and supporters to keep this kind of journalism alive because the private marketplace has failed to do so. Philanthropic support is a lifeline for public interest journalism as economic pressures push the journalism industry to value provocation and opinion over facts and reporting.

Your donation to the WWG will go toward supporting authors, training students, and publishing invaluable investigative reporting.

Investigative Journalism in the Public Interest.
