What Independent Journalism Foundation does
Mission
To promote independent media throughout southeast asia through workshops, training seminars and consultancies. To offer support and guidance to media professionals in eastern and central europe where ijf used to run centers for independent journalism.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990-EZ.
Program
During 2020, ijf continued its episodic support of the hungarian center for independent journalism as the situation for the media worsened. It also completed documentation to fully separate the center from ijf pursuant to hungarian law. In 2020, ijf began the process of winding down its operations. The board adopted a plan of dissolution which will be completed mid-2021.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $49k to $28k (−43%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2018: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $5k → $4k.
