Robert C. Maynard Institute for Journalism Education secures historic grants to advance Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in journalism

Posted

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news about the Maynard Institute. Two transformative grants will significantly bolster our mission to foster Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) in journalism. The Ford Foundation has awarded us a $400,000 grant for general support between 2025 and 2026, and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation has committed an unprecedented $2.5 million over four years — the largest grant in our history.

These generous contributions, totaling $2.9 million, couldn’t come at a more critical time. As DEIB initiatives face increasing challenges nationwide, this funding empowers us to expand our signature Fault Lines® training methodology, create new programming and deepen our commitment to building organizational cultures that truly reflect the diversity of our communities.
