We are thrilled to announce that the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation announced Friday that The Lens had been awarded $85,000 to build capacity of reporting, board, staff, social media, fundraising and back-office operations.
Two of our partner organizations under the Investigative News Network also received funding. The Rocky Mountain Investigative News Network received $100,000 for general organizations support of its I-News Network, including a valuation of services by setting price points and sharing what’s learned with others looking for ways to sustain in-depth journalism in their communities. The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism was awarded $100,000 to expand leadership roles in transparency, ethics, training and high standards of accuracy and to share learning with other nonprofit investigative centers.

The staff of The Lens sends enormous thanks to the EEJ Foundation and congratulations to our colleagues at I-News and Wisconsin Watch!
