It received initial funding from the Pew Charitable Trusts for three years in June 1997 and a second round of funding from the Trusts for three more years in March 2000. The Project administers the Committee of Concerned Journalists from its offices in Washington. Its affiliate, NewsLab, received its initial funding from the Park Foundation.
