The Scripps Howard Fund is a public charity[1] that supports philanthropic causes important to the E. W. Scripps Company, an American media conglomerate which owns television stations, cable television networks, and other media outlets. The Fund's mission, according to its website, is "creating informed and engaged communities through journalism education, childhood literacy, and local causes."[2] The It is located in Cincinnati, Ohio, home to the Scripps Company.
The Scripps Howard Foundation, a sister organization of the Scripps Howard Fund,[1] supports Scripps’ charitable efforts through its endowment, key assets, and major donations. The foundation, established in 1962,[3] started small but has grown to be the largest corporate foundation in the Greater Cincinnati area. Its annual budget has grown from $100,000 in 1971[citation needed] to more than $100 million.[citation needed] It also manages the Greater Cincinnati Fund[4] and presents the annual Scripps Howard Awards, awarding $160,000 for 17 prizes for the 2020 awards given in 2021.[5]
Between the Fund and the Foundation, in 2021, Scripps gave away more than $6 million: "$1 million ... to childhood literacy, $3.1 million ... to journalism and First Amendment causes, and ... $2 million ... to nonprofits nationwide that were recommended by Scripps television stations and their audiences."[1]
The Scripps Howard Foundation, along with Roy Howard's children, established the Roy W. Howard Archive at the Indiana University School of Journalism in 1983.[6] Additionally, it established the Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications at Hampton University in Virginia.[7]
In 2018, the foundation established the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism at the University of Maryland Philip Merrill College of Journalism[8][9] and Arizona State University Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.[10]
