Insider Leak: Dana Perino Quietly Reduces TV Time to Focus on $5 Million Secret Nonprofit Project With Her Husband — Here’s What We Know So Far 🕵️💼❤️
By [Author Name] | [American Outlook Weekly] | June 5, 2025
In a move that has stunned colleagues and captivated viewers, insiders at Fox News have leaked that Dana Perino is strategically cutting back her on-air hours — not for health reasons, not for travel, but to devote herself full-time to a previously undisclosed $5 million nonprofit project she’s building alongside her husband, Peter McMahon.
According to a senior producer familiar with internal scheduling changes, Dana has already turned down multiple primetime guest appearances and pre-recorded several weekday segments — a shift that began quietly earlier this spring.
“She’s not stepping away completely,” the insider clarified. “But something major is pulling her attention — and now we know why.”
The Secret Project: A Nationwide Mentorship Network for Underserved Women
Sources say the couple is preparing to launch a nonprofit called “Step Forward Foundation,” aimed at providing mentorship, scholarships, and real-world leadership training for young women from underserved communities across the U.S.
Unlike typical leadership programs, this one focuses on:
-
Pairing each participant with a real-world mentor from media, government, or business
-
Rural outreach in forgotten counties and small towns
-
Travel stipends and job placement support — fully funded by Dana and Peter’s personal contributions
“It’s Her Life’s Work Now”
While Dana has not yet spoken publicly about the initiative, those close to her say this is “her legacy project” — and that Peter is managing operations, logistics, and recruitment quietly from behind the scenes.
“This isn’t a vanity project,” a source said. “This is Dana Perino giving every young woman what she wishes someone had given her when she was starting out — and she’s doing it with her husband at her side.”
Fox News Responds — Kind Of
When reached for comment, Fox News only said Dana remains a “valued and active contributor” and that “all talent are free to pursue philanthropic interests off-air.”
But staff behind the scenes say a full-length documentary about the nonprofit is already being pitched internally.
Fans React to the Leak
The leak has lit up the internet. Hashtags like #StepForward, #PerinoProject, and #LeadWithDana are trending.
“Dana Perino quietly building something this important? That’s class,” one fan wrote.
“She’s cutting airtime to give back — when others are just trying to get more of it. Respect,” another added.
