The Colorado Sun | McDonald’s E.coli outbreak linked to Colorado death
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with you this morning. The Sun has been awarded a $1.4 million grant from the nonprofit American Journalism Project. You can read our full announcement here.
This is not only a tremendous vote of confidence in The Sun from a respected national funder, it’s confirmation of the trust you have placed in The Sun as readers, members and donors over the past six years. We built this nonprofit for you, Colorado, and with your continued help we’re now aiming to expand our news coverage around the state because there are so many important stories that deserve to be told.
We’re grateful for the support so many of you have given us, and we’re thankful for AJP’s help, too. Today’s grant doesn’t get us over the finish line. However, it does pour rocket fuel into our engines for this amazing journey we have charted together. And if you’re not already a member or donor, today would be a great day to climb aboard!
Thanks, Colorado.
