About Jonathan Logan Family Foundation
Jonathan Logan Family Foundation’s recent giving is defined by large, project-based support for democracy, journalism, and documentary film, often routed through fiscal sponsors and field-building organizations. A $1.3 million package to New Venture Fund in 2023 covered a Voter Engagement Fund, an ISRC education fund, and a Trusted Elections Fund, showing how the foundation uses intermediary vehicles to target specific civic goals. That pattern continued in 2025 with another $1 million to New Venture Fund for the Trusted Elections Fund, alongside $500,000 to the Campaign Legal Center for protecting voter access and $500,000 to the Voter Registration Project. Beyond elections work, the foundation backs investigative reporting and documentary infrastructure. It gave $551,500 to Howard University for digitization of the Black Press Archive and $600,000 to Foundation for National Progress for general charitable and educational activities. Documentary and journalism-related grants also appear in support for organizations such as the International Documentary Association, The Marshall Project, ProPublica, and the Center for Investigative Reporting. The mix shows a funder focused on social justice through media, archives, and democratic participation rather than direct service delivery.
