The California Endowment Awards Grant to Maynard Institute and Oakland Tribune

MIJE and the Oakland Tribune received a $340,000 grant from The California Endowment (TCE) to partner to create programs that will strengthen the relationship between residents and the Tribune. 

The grant will fund the continuation of a Tribune reporting fellowship, a new session of Oakland Voices and community forums throughout the city.   

Issues both the fellowship and the Oakland Voices correspondents will focus on include the impacts of violence and trauma on Oakland and parts of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, Health, Wealth and Geographic Inequities and School-based inequities and dropout rates.     

"The expanded reporting scope of the fellowship, new website and how it all connects to Oakland Voices and our new community engagement strategy, really gives us the opportunity to reshape the narrative around these issues, humanize the people most affected and empower them to join in the conversation," said Martin G. Reynolds, senior editor for community engagement

The California Endowment, a non-partisan foundation, selects a limited number of communities each year for comprehensive investments in prevention-oriented partnerships.
