Fund our Innovation Lab

Hi friends, colleagues, and family! Canopy Atlanta is trying out something a little different in the upcoming year, and your support would not only mean the world to me but also our incredible crew of staff and Fellows. Please see below for more exciting details about our first ever Innovation Lab. If any part of this work resonates with you, I hope you’ll consider making a donation as a part of our year-end giving campaign! <3<3<3 Mindy

Building on the success of our fellowship program, Canopy Atlanta is excited to launch our first-ever Innovation Lab to further support Fellows and their communities. We asked our entire cohort of fellows to submit projects that envisioned what the future of community journalism could look like. Out of those applications, a committee of editors and community members chose five Fellows and five projects that will be completed in 2025.

The projects include preserving and documenting greenspaces, connecting communities to legal aid, mapping and telling the stories of DIY artists, creating resource guides for elderly community members, and connecting folks to community experts. They’ll talk to their neighbors and mentors to build out these projects and learn new skills like podcasting, mapping, and resource building.
