The Media Prosperity Institute is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) founded to expand access to training and professional development for underserved and underrepresented media organizations and individuals. We vet qualifying candidates that lack the resources to attend high-impact industry education and connect them with low or no-cost opportunities that strengthen revenue, audience growth, and long-term sustainability.
Please reach out to if you can not find an answer to your question.
We serve small and mid-sized newspaper and magazine publishers that lack the financial resources to participate in high-impact industry training, conferences, and professional development opportunities.
We are currently partner with the Niche Media Conference, Speak-Sell-Shine, and the Niche Leadership Summit. If interested, please use the contact form and an application will be provided.
The organization was founded by Ryan Dohrn, a nationally recognized media and sales strategist with decades of experience working with media companies of all sizes.
Applicants are vetted through a qualification process that evaluates financial need, organizational structure, and commitment to long-term sustainability and growth.
The Institute provides sponsored access to industry conferences, training programs, and educational resources focused on revenue growth, audience development, and operational excellence.
Rather than providing unrestricted cash grants, the Institute focuses on funding access to education, training, and professional development that delivers long-term value.
The Media Prosperity Institute is funded through grants, sponsorships, and contributions from organizations and partners that support the future of independent media.
Supporters can contribute through grants, sponsorships, or strategic partnerships that help expand access to education for qualifying media organizations.
Eligible media companies can apply through our application process, which will be announced as opportunities become available.
We believe sustainable education and skill development create lasting impact by helping media organizations strengthen their business models and better serve their communities.
Limited grants/scholarships for the Niche Media Conference are available. If interested, please complete the form on the left and you will be provided more information.
