This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

| Knight Foundation | 250,000.00 | 3 | -- | Technology, Journalism | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/4203 | -- | Grant period: 10/01/2007 - 09/30/2008; goal: To help launch a new kind of "digital daily,'' a quality nonprofit online news organization serving the state of Minnesota MinnPost is a new not-for-profit enterprise, whose mission is to publish a new, high-quality daily news report online and to develop a sustainable business model for quality journalism. In many cities, daily newspapers are cutting back staff as advertising dollars move to other media. Critics argue that these dailies are getting less serious, less ambitious, less courageous and far less comprehensive. The digital revolution is causing “creative destruction’’ of the economics of metropolitan daily newspapers and network television. This grant will help launch a new kind of “digital daily,’’ a quality nonprofit online news organization serving the state of Minnesota and enable them to help launch and support activities for 15 months. MinnPost has a combination of ad revenue, foundation support and membership donations. It is an experiment in a new nonprofit business model for quality journalism. |
