Knight Foundation donations made to International Women's Media Foundation

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.

60,000.002--Technology, Journalismhttps://knightfoundation.org/grants/4665-- Grant period: 10/01/2009 - 09/30/2011; goal: For a one-time bridge grant to support the Elizabeth Neuffer Fund in honor of the slain journalist The Elizabeth Neuffer Fund was created in 2004 through the International Women’s Media Foundation. This program honors the memory of Elizabeth Neuffer, a 1998 winner of the Courage in Journalism Award and a reporter for The Boston Globe, who died in Iraq on May 9, 2003. In collaboration with Elizabeth’s partner, Peter Canellos, now editorial page editor of The Boston Globe, and her brother, Mark Neuffer, the IWMF established this fund to support professional development of a journalist each year who shares Elizabeth’s passion for social justice and has been covering the world’s most difficult stories. The women selected have ranged from freelancers to veteran reporters with the BBC. Neuffer fellows may also work with the Boston Globe or New York Times. The fellowship includes housing with a family; a stipend to cover meals, ground transportation, and other living expenses; and health insurance. It does not provide a salary or honoraria. Fellows spend nine months at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. Until recently, the program was supported by the Boston Globe Foundation and New York Times Foundation. Both suspended their operations […].
