FairWarning begins the New Year with a shout-out to recent donors.
The nonprofit, investigative news organization in the past month has
received more than $60,000 to support its coverage of safety and health issues, and related topics of government and business accountability.
The Charles Evans Foundation, which provided the original funding
to launch FairWarning in March, 2010, has continued its generous support
with a contribution of $50,000. “The Evans Foundation has been there for
us since the beginning,” said Myron Levin, executive director of
FairWarning. “It’s hard to imagine where we’d be without them.”
FairWarning, which is based in Encino, Calif., also has received
grants of $5,000 each from The Rosenthal Family Foundation and from The
Renaissance Foundation. In addition, the Fund for Investigative
Journalism has awarded $3,500. “We rely heavily on these donors to
assist our efforts to provide strong, public interest reporting,” Levin
said. “We are so grateful for their support.”
Starting this week, FairWarning’s “News & Notes” feature,
which appears five days a week, has been revamped to give readers a
broader roundup of important safety and health news.
Please take a look
and let us know what you think.
