Fund for Investigative Journalism
The Fund for Investigative Journalism was founded in 1969 by the late Philip M.

Stern was convinced small amounts of money invested in the work of determined journalists would yield enormous results in the fight against racism, poverty, corporate greed and governmental corruption.
