ANF offers fiscal sponsorship to journalism projects of all sizes and media types for the purposes of increasing public access to high quality local and national reporting by independent news outlets; supporting investigative and enterprise reporting projects and initiatives; and advancing education about the field of journalism and the need for popular support for the craft.

As part of its affiliation with AAN Publishers (aan.org), ANF supports the professional development of journalists and connects young journalists with mentors.

ANF works side by side with AAN to support the core principles of the alternative press: Speaking truth to power, telling stories that would otherwise go untold, and giving voice to those who would otherwise go unheard.

ANF collaborates with the Black Press (National Newspaper Publishers Association, NNPA), the National Association of Hispanic Publications (NAHP), and AAN Publishers (AAN) to advance the mission behind the Fund For Equity In Local News, a sponsored project of ANF that supports more than 500 Black and Latino-owned news outlets, local alternative publications, and online news sites.
