CalMatters
CalMatters is a nonpartisan, nonprofit news organization that improves California by making government more understandable, transparent and accountable to the people. For ten years, they've provided vital information not available elsewhere to help people know what's going on and engage with their government. CalMatters' reporting focuses on exploring, explaining, and addressing key quality-of-life issues, reaching millions of engaged Californians through a multiplatform approach.
“With the power of journalism online, in print and on the air, we serve millions of people across California who are affected by state government but unaware of its actions and unsure how to engage. We do this across key topics like housing, the environment, politics and, thanks to LSPFF, health. Change moves slowly, but we can see it move from the impact of our work.”
—Neil Chase, CEO
