BINJ funds journalistic and engagement efforts in numerous ways including: hosting events, providing creative services, and syndicating to national outlets. In our first three years, we have received generous funding from the Reva & David Logan Foundation based in Chicago, and in 2018 became the recipients of an unexpected prize won on an MTV competition show that we are using for our ongoing opioid coverage. We have more than 100 monthly sustaining members with more coming on every week, and are excited to begin crowdfunding for specific projects in 2019.
