Oklahoma State University Foundation serves as the fiscal sponsor for donations to KOSU. KOSU is a multimedia organization poised to lead in filling the information deficit created by the decline of local newspapers and aims to significantly expand its newsroom and outreach to people who have been left behind in this information ecosystem collapse. With this funding, KOSU will partially match a gift from Report for America and the Groundtruth Foundation to hire and field a reporter focused on mental health and addiction. The remaining funds will be used to support KOSU’s general operations.
