NIE Sponsorships

Adopt-A-School Program

Individuals and small businesses that want to sponsor area schools with newspapers can do so through the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Adopt-A-School program. For $35, a sponsor can provide a school with 5 copies of the Monday through Friday Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for 20 weeks. For $63, a school will receive 5 copies of the Monday through Friday Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for the entire school year. Of course, sponsors can adopt for a greater amount and increase the number of newspapers a school receives. Sponsors also have the opportunity to provide one of the program packages described in the Curriculum section.

Whatever a sponsor decides, teachers and students appreciate the contribution – and it’s tax deductible! The sponsor’s name, business or organization and the name of the sponsored school will appear in the Adopt-A-School thank you ad that runs during the school year. It’s our way of saying thanks to our sponsors.

For more information or to adopt a school, please call us at (412) 263-1551 or email us at nie2@post-gazette.com.

Corporate Sponsorship Program

For a minimum of $500, local companies can become corporate sponsors. Just like the Adopt-A-School sponsors, corporate sponsors may choose the schools. Or, we can add the donation to the corporate sponsorship funds used for schools that request sponsored copies of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette throughout the year.

Vacation Donation

Prepaid home-delivery customers have the opportunity to donate the monetary value of their subscriptions to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Newspaper in Education program when they go on vacation. Donations are used to provide sponsored newspapers to area classrooms.

Donation Option

Prepaid customers also have the option of donating $2.00 to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Newspaper in Education program when they pay their invoices. The donations are used for sponsored newspapers in area schools.
