Since 1924, JEA has been leading the way in scholastic journalism and media education. With your support, we plan to continue these efforts for decades to come.

Beyond basic operations including scholastic journalism curriculum resources, outreach, contests, conventions and workshops, JEA typically designates more than $50,000 annually to support people and organizations advancing journalism education through scholarships, scholastic press rights, media literacy, mentoring and partnerships.

You may donate in memory or honor of someone special or influential.
