The A-Mark Foundation supports and promotes investigative reporting, which we define as:

 

A form of journalism that uncovers information deliberately hidden from the public, often involving abuse of power, corruption, wrongdoing, or systemic failure, through original research, document analysis, data collection, and firsthand reporting, rather than relying primarily on official statements or press releases.

 

We fund our grantees through the following programs:

• A-Mark Prizes for Investigative Reporting (42), presented by state press groups
• A-Mark Journalism Master’s Scholarships (23), presented by universities
• A-Mark Student Journalism Awards (9), presented by community colleges

 

We do not respond to unsolicited proposals.
