Independent Catholic Journalism Depends on You: Since our founding in 1964, NCR has been independent, nonprofit and lay-led. NCR’s independence allows us to cover the breadth and depth of Catholic voices, reporting on people, places and events that would never be explored by other media outlets. NCR isn't owned by the church or any group, so we have the editorial freedom to report the stories that need to be told.
A Growing Digital Audience: Because of NCR’s robust online presence and acclaimed reporting, more readers than ever before are reading and sharing our work, around the world. We’re committed to keeping our online journalism as open and available as possible — and that means resisting paywalls or premium content subscriptions — but that can only happen with the support of readers like you. To keep NCR’s online journalism available to all, we need readers to support it.
A Sustainable Future: Digital technology and changing reader habits present opportunities to invest in new tools, new storytelling methods, and new ways of reporting and distributing the news. Our members support NCR's next-generation newsroom and young reporters. Members can experience first-hand new ways of connecting, through online events and polls, so that our readers can connect on stories they care about.
If you read and value NCR’s reporting and perspective, your support matters. Join NCR Forward today and be part of ensuring NCR’s secure and sustainable future as an independent Catholic voice.
