The Joyce Foundation is a private, nonpartisan philanthropy that invests in public policies and strategies to advance racial equity and economic mobility for the next generation in the Great Lakes region. Joyce supports policy research, development, and advocacy in six program areas: Culture, Democracy, Education & Economic Mobility, Environment, Gun Violence Prevention & Justice Reform, and Journalism.
During the webinar, researchers discussed findings from a new study that examines local government spending patterns and their connection to public safety outcomes, specifically suicide and homicide.
Joyce’s Hugh Dellios, Journalism program director, discusses revitalizing local news—it's crucial to support trustworthy journalism, especially in areas like higher education, to ensure informed communities and smart decision-making.
