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 | 140,000.00 | 3 | -- | Technology, Journalism | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/4608 | -- | Grant period: 10/01/2009 - 01/01/2012; goal: To strengthen the monitoring of global threats to press freedom and facilitate a merger with Freedom House As the Irvine Foundation and others report, strategic restructuring — including mergers, back-office consolidations and joint ventures — are an increasingly popular option for nonprofits facing stiff competition, rising community needs and decreasing funds. This grant will allow the World Press Freedom Committee, an early grantee of Knight Foundation, to continue its most important activity as it restructures. For 30 years, the committee has carefully monitored global groups such as the United Nations and UNESCO and campaigned for the free flow of information. Its work helped overcome attempts to radically limit press freedom internationally. The committee seeks to secure the future of this monitoring work by merging with Freedom House, a larger, better financed NGO with a compatible mission. Freedom House publishes the most important international guide to press freedom. |

| Knight Foundation | 250,000.00 | 1 | -- | Technology, Journalism | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/4222 | -- | Grant period: 10/01/2007 - 10/31/2008; goal: For a conference and major web campaign about China's information control before the 2008 Beijing Olympics The World Press Freedom Committee monitors threats to press freedom in the United Nations system and other major intergovernmental organizations. It promotes a common front against press restrictions through the Coordinating Committee of Press Freedom Organizations, and works to ensure that press freedom is a primary consideration for the future of news on the Internet. This grant will support a two-day conference in Paris, to examine freedom of expression in China, in advance of the Beijing Olympics. The 50 participants, including sports journalists, editors and photographers, are expected to learn about China’s methods of information control so they are better prepared to cover the Beijing Olympics. The committee’s web site will make conference material widely known, especially among the thousands of sports writers who will be attending the Olympics. This grant aims to make China’s internet and other censorship practices more widely known. |

The conference will explore press freedom in new democracies and in non-democratic settings and focus on the challenges and opportunities of new media for press freedom, including how online news affects press freedom.
