The Maynard Institute would like to thank Craig Newmark Philanthropies for a generous grant of $50,000 in support of our mission to diversify news.
This grant will support our new training programs which build on the Maynard Institute’s Fault Lines® framework and the success of the Maynard 200 fellowship program.
Our new initiatives, the Maynard Communities of Practice and the Maynard Regional Training Series, will support existing alumni of Maynard legacy programs and expand our ever-growing network of journalists, media executives and entrepreneurs.
Through these community-focused programs we’re training journalists, editors, managers and media professionals in everything from authenticity in management and AI for audience to ethical editorial decisionmaking and reporting on race, gender and culture.
This generous grant from Craig Newmark Philanthropies will help underwrite convenings and strategic planning sessions with a coalition partner, support research and resource development for policy advocacy and expand our Maynard Regional Training Series to reach more journalists and further propel diversity and belonging in news.
Since 2018, Craig Newmark Philanthropies has contributed $1 million to suppprt the Maynard Institute and was among the first funders of Maynard 200.
