Grants

The Headliners Foundation extends grant support from time to time to worthy endeavors within the field of journalism to both individuals and institutions.  Inquiries or proposals should be directed to the Foundation’s Executive Director.

While it is true that the majority of Headliners Foundation financial support is directed toward its annual scholarships and professional journalism awards, there is a long-standing interest in preserving important historical collections involving journalism. For example, Foundation grants have been made in support of efforts to preserve historical journalism archives, as in the successful efforts by the University of Texas to acquire and preserve the photographic “morgues” of the New York Herald Tribune and Newsday.

The Foundation projects that it will,  in future years,  broaden its outreach to include grant support to other areas, such as professional education and enhanced communication within the communities of professional and academic journalism.
