JOURNALISM PROJECT

The Seymour Fox Foundation offers a stipend for one or more Journalism students to investigate and report on how our grantees use the grant funds we provide, and the benefits realized.  The goal would be to:

1.  show case our grantees’ programs;

2.  assist us in gathering data to evaluate the effectiveness of our grants, improve our grant making process, and focus our mission;

3.  foster innovative collaborations between our grantees, our Foundation, and other potential grantors and grantees.

For a new, longer term, high tech potential, Seymour Fox envisions a not for profit collaboration app. or virtual marketplace, or, youtube channel, etc. that would make the following things easy and even common place:

a.   example:   I am cleaning out the house, and I have videos on science, history, classic movies;  CD’s of classical music, opera, classical guitar, etc;  great cameras and camera equipment;  musical instruments;  books on health, history, etc.;  artwork that while probably not really valuable is pretty and could cheer up a place. Trying to find a place to donate those where good use will be made of them is not so easy.  If there was a special not for profit online marketplace, where people could post such items for donation, or even sale, and not for profits knew to look there, it would really help schools, etc., get some pretty interesting things.  Or, not for profits could post that they need x,y,z, and people looking to donate specialty items could see what they have to donate.  We could charge a small processing fee per transaction to help fund the upkeep of the site.  If the item is for sale, Foundations like ours could say, yes, we would like to make a grant to buy that piece of equipment for that school to help that special program.

b.  another example:   a doctor or therapist, or even a particular patient or caregiver could say some thing like:  gee I wish there was a wheelchair that was portable and could keep the patient’s legs elevated, like the reclining lawn chairs, on wheels.  The doctor or therapist could put the request into a Not For Profit Collaboration website (created by RPI and maybe named after Mr. Fox).  Places like RPI could say, we will make a student project, or course project, and design and build one for this particular doctor or patient if someone will give us a grant, and then Foundations, like our Foundation could see it and say, hey that sounds like a great idea that we would love to fund !
