NABJ Announces $100,000 Donation from Onyx Impact and Black History Month Match for Jubilee Endowment Campaign

The National Association of Black Journalists is proud to announce a significant new partnership with Onyx Impact, marking a powerful show of support for Black journalism and press freedom at a critical moment. 

On February 5, 2026, Onyx Impact launched Invest in Black Media, a new national campaign to strengthen Black journalism, broadcasting, and digital storytelling. Through this initiative, NABJ will receive $100,000 as part of Onyx Impact’s $500,000 overall commitment in 2026 to independent Black media outlets and storytellers who inform Black audiences every single day.

In light of recent events that underscore the growing threats facing Black journalists, we are reminded of why sustained investment in Black journalism, journalist protection and press freedom is urgently needed. Additionally, Onyx Impact has partnered with NABJ on a Black History Month matching effort, pledging to match up to $100,000 raised for the NABJ Jubilee Endowment Campaign during the month of February.

We invite NABJ members, alumni, partners, and allies to help us reach our goal.

Thank you to Onyx Impact for standing with NABJ, Black journalists, and the broader fight for press freedom. This match is both an investment in the future of Black journalism and a statement that journalism is essential to democracy. We are deeply grateful to our NABJ community for showing up, sharing the message, and supporting the work.
