Please consider a donation
Dear Community Partner,
As 2025 draws to a close, the Arizona Latino Media Association (ALMA) invites you to stand with us in our mission to uplift and empower Latino media professionals across Arizona, by making a one-time monetary, tax-deductible contribution before the end of 2025. For nearly three decades, ALMA- a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has served as a vital network for journalists, communicators, and storytellers who reflect the diverse voices of our communities. Through mentorship, scholarships, professional development, and advocacy, we help ensure that Latino perspectives are not only represented—but celebrated—in newsrooms and media platforms throughout the state.
This work is more important than ever. As the media landscape evolves, so too must our efforts to support the next generation of Latino journalists and communicators. But we cannot do it alone. We are reaching out to corporations, small businesses, nonprofits, and service organizations like yours to ask for your financial support. Your contribution—no matter the size—will directly fund programs that foster equity, opportunity, and excellence in Arizona’s media industry.
One of our immediate goals is to provide ALMA members with the opportunity to attend the 42nd Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism early next year. This prestigious event, hosted by the Cronkite School at Arizona State University, honors outstanding contributions to journalism. This is the first time the award will honor Latino journalists. Maria Elena Salinas and Jorge Ramos will be in Phoenix in February to accept the award. We are seeking support to help fill seats at this event so that our members—many of whom are early-career journalists or students—can experience this celebration of journalistic excellence firsthand.
We hope you will consider making a tax-deductible year-end donation to ALMA. Your support is not just an investment in our organization—it’s an investment in the future of inclusive, representative media in Arizona.
Thank you for your time, your partnership, and your belief in the power of diverse voices.
With gratitude,
The Arizona Latino Media Association (ALMA) board of directors.
