The Open Notebook is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is widely regarded as the leading online source of training and educational materials for journalists who cover science. We’re dedicated to fostering a supportive, diverse, and inclusive global community that enables reporters and editors who cover science to learn and thrive.

Gifts from our community have enabled The Open Notebook to provide thousands of science journalists with in-depth, nuts-and-bolts resources and training. Through our comprehensive library of articles on the craft of science journalism and our extensive training and mentoring programs, we equip journalists with the skills they need to tell impactful, engaging stories about science. 

Creating these resources costs money. With your support, we can expand our ability to break down barriers in science journalism and empower journalists worldwide.

If you’re able, please support our work!

A monthly gift can go even further to support our work. Consider joining the Page Turners Collective, a community of those who contribute to The Open Notebook each month to provide reliable, sustainable support for our work.

The strength of the Page Turners Collective lies in our shared belief that high-quality science journalism is a cornerstone of an informed society. Every dollar you give is pooled with others to invest in the future of journalism, supporting initiatives that might otherwise be beyond the reach of individual donations. Your monthly support is more than a donation—it’s an affirmation of the idea that together, we can make a significant impact.

Your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. To claim a donation as a deduction on your U.S. taxes, please keep your email donation receipt as your official record. We’ll send it to you upon successful completion of your donation.
