For 117 years, the Society of Professional Journalists has championed ethical journalism, defended press freedom, and strengthened the profession. As we celebrate this historic anniversary, we invite you to invest in the future of journalism and the values that have guided SPJ since 1909.

In an era of rapid change, misinformation, and increasing challenges to a free press, SPJ's work remains as vital as ever. Your support helps ensure journalists have the resources, training, and advocacy they need to serve their communities with integrity and courage.

Your gift supports:

  • Advocacy for press freedom and First Amendment protections
  • Ethics training and professional development opportunities
  • Resources for journalists navigating a changing media landscape
  • Programs that inspire and prepare the next generation of journalists

As part of this special anniversary year, all donors who make a gift in 2026 will be recognized on SPJ's Anniversary Honor Roll at the SPJ Convention in October 2026 and in future SPJ publications throughout the year.

Whether you are making your first contribution or renewing your commitment to SPJ, your support demonstrates a belief in ethical journalism, professional excellence, and the public's right to know.

Join us as we celebrate 117 years of impact and help ensure a strong future for journalism.

Make your gift today and become part of SPJ's 117th Anniversary Honor Roll.

Donations made are tax-deductible up to the full extent of the law from the Society of Professional Journalists Foundation EIN #: 36-6106287.
