Information can empower change. In light of this, Ascendium is growing its partnerships with media organizations that share our commitment to learners from low-income backgrounds. Showcasing stories about issues and solutions that impact these learners, our collaborations help connect practitioners, researchers, funders and policymakers with new ideas and programs. Through use of multiple media formats, they tell the stories of how system level changes can impact both individuals and groups of learners.
Recently, Ascendium has formed new collaborations with Chalk Beat, Rural Matters, Open Campus - Institute for Nonprofit News, Academic Intelligence and Restless Productions. These are additions to our growing list of media partners that include The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Hechinger Report and more. Whether featuring experts in a podcast or showcasing system-changing initiatives in a documentary, these relationships create opportunities to spread the word about the work of our grant partners with those in the field. Find out more about how our new media partners’ expertise and storytelling elevates issues and initiatives impacting learners from low-income backgrounds.
“Through media partnerships, we can provide resources to organizations spreading the word about timely, systemic innovations in postsecondary education and workforce training,” Brett Lindquist, Ascendium’s vice president – strategic communications, tells us.
Our portfolio of media partnerships helps us to bring more coverage to the issues our education philanthropy aims to address. It paves the way for widespread change by telling the stories of collaborations, policies and programs and their impact on learners.
