The Tony Hillerman Daily Lobo Writing and Resource Coach Fund

Join us in honoring the incredible legacy of Tony Hillerman, the revered writing coach whose guidance and support shaped countless journalists at the Daily Lobo!

The Daily Lobo has been a launching pad for aspiring journalists for 130 years, and Tony Hillerman's role as a writing coach was instrumental in nurturing talent and fostering a passion for journalism. Following in his footsteps, luminaries like Hank Trewhitt continued to inspire and mentor future journalists, paving the way for countless successful careers in media.

Today, the need for guidance and support for Daily Lobo students is more crucial than ever. In celebration of our rich history and with the blessing of Anne Hillerman, we're launching a crowdfunding campaign in 2025 to establish an endowment in Tony Hillerman's honor. Our goal? To raise $300,000 to permanently fund a part-time writing coach position, ensuring that future generations of journalists receive the mentorship and support they need to thrive.

Your contribution will make a tangible difference in the lives of aspiring journalists, providing them with invaluable post-publication critiques and ongoing support as they embark on their careers. Together, we can honor Tony Hillerman's legacy and ensure the future of journalism remains bright!

Donate today and be a part of something truly special. Let's carry on Tony Hillerman's legacy and empower the next generation of journalists to make their mark on the world!
