IRS990/Desc0Journalism Fellowship 2016: Focus on Immigrant Children and Education. Eighteen journalists were chosen from a competitive application process to attend a training March 30-April 1 at Georgia State University in Atlanta. After the training, the fellows produced in-depth stories published and broadcast by their news organizations. The stories illuminated the challenges faced by immigrant children as they navigate U.S. public schools IJJ believes that training journalists helps produce better journalism, which leads to more informed discussion and debate about social justice issues. Casey Data Institute: IJJ provided trainers and organized the Casey Data Institute for the Annie E. Casey Foundation, May 3-5 in St. Louis. About 70 people from nonprofits working on children and family issues participated in the data visualization training.Migrahack 2016: An immigration data hackathon was held in Chicago June 3-5. More than 90 journalists, developers, graphic designers and immigration advocates came to Chicago from all over the country. Over the weekend, they participated in an intense day of training and came out with 12 projects. The projects not only told the stories of individuals but also challenged reform efforts that were already in place, offering a deeper look at the reach of immigration criminalization. Money & Politics in Immigration Detention Journalists Training: IJJ held a training program for journalists on money and politics in immigration detention. The seminars and workshops were held at the University of Denvers Sturm College of Law, Sept. 12-13, and covered issues such as the privatization of immigration detention and the workings of immigration courts. Seventeen journalists from around the country were selected to attend, from a competitive pool of applicants.

IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0Prior Year Facts and Circumstances: The Institute for Justice and Journalism (IJJ) meets the facts and circumstances test because it meets the ten percent of support requirement as well as the attraction of public support requirement.Percentage of support: At least 10% of its support meets the public support test. In 2015, 10% of revenue meets the public support test.Sources of support: IJJ is organized and operated for a tax-exempt purpose, namely to provide fellowships, conferences and web-based resources to strengthen news coverage of immigration and other social justice issues. The organization has a continuous and bona fide program for solicitation of funds from the general public in order to attract new and additional support on a continuous basis. During the last six years, IJJ has attracted five donors of $5,000 or more. IJJ continues to pursue additional sources of support to increase its public support level, and is currently developing a fundraising strategy to expand the donor base.Availability of public facilities: The activities of IJJ have a broad public benefit, and facilities and programs are publicly available. The IJJ website models fair and accurate journalism, and is available to the general public. Programs such as our data trainings and hackathons have been held across the country and are open to journalists, nonprofit groups, computer programmers and community members. Our webinars have been open to the general public. Representative governing body: IJJs governing body consists of seven individuals who are not related to one another, and none are directly involved in IJJ operations. This allows the organization to have independent judgment on how funds are raised by IJJ to support its tax-exempt purpose. This board has full control and authority over funds raised, and makes determinations on, and provides oversight of, all disbursements made.
