Estate Planning

Journalism has been foundational to the success of American democracy. The long legacy of press freedom was enshrined in our constitution here in Pennsylvania almost 250 years ago, and it is the mission of Spotlight PA to ensure that it continues to thrive throughout our commonwealth. By adding a donation to Spotlight PA to your estate planning, known as a bequest, you can be a part of this legacy forever.

Please let us know if you are including Spotlight PA in your plans, so we can help ensure that you have the most up-to-date and accurate information necessary and that your donation will be used in the exact way that you wish. This will also allow us to plan ahead as an organization. Please contact Sean O’Riordan at soriordan@spotlightpa.org or visit spotlightpa.org/legacy.

Transparency

Spotlight PA is a nonpartisan, independent newsroom paid for by grants from foundations and donations from individuals committed to robust investigative reporting. Spotlight PA editors and reporters operate independently of our funders and maintain editorial control over all of the content they produce. Funders do not have input into the selection of which stories Spotlight PA pursues or the reporting process for those stories. Funders do not review any content before publication or have any special access to reporters or newsroom leadership. In short, we answer to you, the public.
