Since our founding in 2003, we’ve preserved stories from nearly 700,000 people — moments and experiences that have meaningfully shaped the lives of individual storytellers and, with deep listening, encourage us to view one another with greater empathy and compassion. Our lives may look different, but our humanity connects us all.
When you give to StoryCorps, you can give with confidence knowing that we take stewardship of your gift seriously. StoryCorps has earned the highest possible rating, four stars, from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent evaluator of nonprofit organizations, and the highest score for transparency from Guidestar/Candid, a Platinum Seal. These ratings demonstrate fiscal excellence and a commitment to accountability and transparency.
As an independent nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of supporters like you to continue bringing these inspiring conversations to life. Every donation helps us document the diversity of life and cultures across the U.S. as well as the experiences — many familiar to us — of people whose stories often go untold. Explore ways to give that make sense for you.
