Endowment

Thanks to the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Knight Center for Environmental Journalism has a wonderful opportunity to create a sustainable funding pool. The foundation has issued us a challenge grant to help build an $800,000 endowment by the year 2010. For every three dollars we raise toward the endowment, the Knight Foundation will award us an additional dollar — up to an amazing $200,000 in matching funds! We need your support to meet this exciting, but challenging, goal!

Learn more about us here.

Once complete, the endowment will be used to:

Support scholarships for students and professional journalists.
Increase training and education opportunities through the development of online courses.
Conduct outreach and research efforts that will improve the quality of environmental journalism.

Your financial support, in any amount, will surely help us meet this goal. Please consider giving online today! Or, print out this form and mail it with your contribution to:
