We've Changed Our Name!

Dear Partners and Friends,

The McCormick Tribune Foundation's board of directors yesterday approved a name change. We now are the McCormick Foundation.

You can visit the link below that provides a press release with more information that clarifies the Foundation’s long-standing position as an independent organization committed to serve children, communities and country. The new name also aligns us more closely with the legacy of our founder, Robert R. McCormick.

We are confident that this change will better position the Foundation for long-term growth and flexibility. The Journalism Program -- and our partnerships with each of you -- will not be affected by this name change. We will continue to invest in organizations that encourage a free, vigorous and diverse news media though leadership development, journalism education and training, youth media and free speech initiatives.

We look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

Clark Bell
Director, Journalism Program
