About Collegiate Network
The foundation concentrates virtually all of its giving on a single national organization that supports college student journalism. Its funding appears directed at building campus journalism capacity and national programs that train and sustain student writers and publications. The grantee relationship is deep and program-specific rather than broadly diversified across causes or geographies.
