Our Generous Funders

The Kneeland Project was one of 22 journalism organizations nationwide in August who received grants from Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation. This amazing organization has been our largest, and most generous funder for the past decade and we couldn't do our work without their support.

Founded by Edith Kinney Gaylord, Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation's mission is to invest in the future of journalism by building the ethics, skills and opportunities needed to advance principled, probing news and information.

"We're proud to be long-time supporters of The Kneeland Project," said Bob Ross, President and CEO of Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation. "The current financial challenges facing news media pose a threat to journalism, and we believe that The Kneeland Project has an important role to play in improving the quality of local news across our country."

The grant - $255,000 over three years – will allow The Kneeland Project to offer more journalists high-quality training related to ethical decision-making, newsroom systems and coaching, action planning, managing alternative news sources, local news expansion and content options.

We are forever grateful for their support. To learn more about Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation, visit www.journalism foundation.org or call 405-604-5388.
