Support our mission

Equal Access Public Media believes accessibility means making news available to people — no matter what.

It also means journalists can work regardless of their disability, race, color, national origin or ancestry, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion, or socioeconomic background.

In other words, EAPM is making news accessible to all and the newsroom accessible to more journalists.

The vast majority of our support comes from donors just like you, and we’re proud of that. We’d love for you to join our supporter family.


A thermometer representing the EAPM fundraisig goal

Right now, EAPM is asking you to join us in building better news: news for all.

We’re raising $50,000. This will keep EAPM going and help continue work on our projects, such as the Style and Accessibility Guide.

Donations also help EAPM build and launch the National Tab, a national daily news outlet built with accessibility at its core.
