Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

“The AOJ Foundation fulfills its charitable and educational mission in many ways, one of which is administration and support of the annual Minority Writers Seminar as a means to attract minority journalists to opinion writing and thereby foster racial, sex and ethnic diversity to the opinion sections of the media. The foundation also uses its resources to support and train opinion writers and editors generally through other programming such as a daylong briefing at the U.S. State Department and through its website and Google Group.”
