Thanks to the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Knight Center for Environmental Journalism, publisher of EJ Magazine, has a wonderful opportunity to create a sustainable funding pool. The foundation has issued a challenge grant to help the Knight Center build an $800,000 endowment by the year 2010. For every three dollars raised toward the endowment, the Knight Foundation will contribute an additional dollar — up to an amazing $200,000 in matching funds.
To help reach this goal, all advertising revenue from EJ Magazine will be applied to the endowment fund.
Earnings from the endowment will provide sustainable funding for:
• EJ Magazine and EJ Magazine Online
• Scholarships for students and professional journalists
• Training and education opportunities for professional and student journalists
• Development of online courses
• Outreach and research efforts to improve the quality of environmental journalism
Payments to the Knight Center for advertisements are not considered charitable contributions for tax purposes. Your charitable gift to the endowment fund, in addition to your advertising purchase, is warmly welcomed. Ask your advertising representative for more information about contributing a gift.
