fuel independent journalism
Wild Narrative Project is a women-led nonprofit newsroom reporting from the ground across the American West.
We investigate how policy and profit alter the balance between landscapes, species, and the people bound to both — revealing the intertwined stories of survival, stewardship, and power that shape America’s public lands.
Support Truth from the Ground, Year-Round
Right now, we’re raising $15,000 by year’s end to finish our Devil’s Garden short film and fund early 2025 field reporting.
But this is just one milestone — our newsroom relies on ongoing community support to sustain investigations, editing, and travel all year long.
Your gift today strengthens our ability to keep reporting the eye-opening stories others won’t touch.
building the future of independent journalism
A fully funded year — $250,000 — means full focus, full presence, and full accountability.
Here’s what full funding makes possible — from the newsroom to the public it serves.
Sustained reporting and production
Consistent coverage year-round, led by an experienced editor whose work deserves fair compensation and uninterrupted focus.
Expanded field reporting
The ability to return to the same landscapes and communities over time, documenting real change instead of chasing headlines.
Regular, high-quality content
Stories, films, and photo essays that meet the moment with rigor and empathy.
Equitable storytelling
Paying Indigenous and women contributors fairly to tell stories rooted in lived experience, not extracted from it.
Editorial independence
Reporting that remains free from corporate or political influence, accountable only to truth and public interest.
Public awareness and engagement
Transforming complex environmental issues into accessible reporting that empowers readers to understand, question, and participate in how America’s public lands are managed.
“Full funding means the work doesn’t stop when the campaign ends — it means a newsroom capable of standing on its own two feet, year-round, with the freedom to follow stories wherever they lead.”
