Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To increase journalists knowledge of complex issues to improve public understanding and to encourage excellence in journalism through awards and programs.

  • Widening the Pipeline - Held a year-long fellowship program for 25 early-career journalists. The training was designed to educate, mentor, inspire and uplift a cohort of talented young journalists and prepare them for leadership positions in U.S. newsrooms.

    Expenses $172,935

  • Covering Equitable Community Development - An intensive four-day fellowship for two dozen journalists in Missoula, Montana. Missoula was selected as the training site to get journalists out of the bicoastal mindset that dominates the industry and focus on smaller cities and more rural communities.

    Expenses $160,543

  • International Trade Reporting Fellowship - A four-day fellowship for 25 journalists from more than a dozen nations across Asia. The program reviewed the latest issues confronting international trade.

    Expenses $142,327

  • Other program expenses

    Expenses $917,237 · Grants $154,912 · Revenue $5,662

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
