Fund for Independence in Journalism
The Fund for Independence in Journalism, "a 509 (a)(3) nonprofit, tax exempt organization, was created in 2003 to foster independent, high quality public service journalism in the United States and around the world.
"The Fund's primary purpose is providing legal defense and endowment support for the largest nonprofit, investigative reporting institution in the world, the Center for Public Integrity, and possibly other, similar groups. This core mission and our related activities illuminate the fundamental role of the press, the public's right to know, and accountability in a democratic society." [1]
