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.

| 2,250,000.00 | 1 | -- | Technology, Journalism | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/4022 | -- | Grant period: 10/01/2006 - 10/01/2011; goal: For a strategic alliance with Channel One to promote First Amendment and student media Channel One is the only TV channel that reaches directly into America’s middle and high schools. A daily 12-minute newscast is broadcast into 11,000 schools, 350,000 classrooms and to more than 7 million students. A third of U.S. teens watch it. This grant will promote greater First Amendment education, the creation and strengthening of student media, increased use of news in the classroom and more civics education. PSAs, First Amendment news reports and partnerships with Knight grantees will create more exposure for grantees’ work. At least 50 schools in Knight communities will be added to the Channel One network. This grant aims to spread First Amendment education and student media nationwide to help a new generation of citizens become more informed, interested and effective. |
