Journalist's Toolbox

Who we are
Since its founding in 1961, the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation has promoted excellence and ethics in journalism. SDX is a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization that supports the educational programs of the Society of Professional Journalists and serves the professional needs of journalists and students pursuing careers in journalism.

Liberty and self-government require a well-informed public. It is the responsibility of journalists to provide fair, balanced and accurate information in a comprehensive, timely and ethical manner.

SDX helps by:
— Advocating for open government
— Promoting integrity
— Encouraging excellence
— Fostering diversity
— Inspiring new generations of talented journalists
— Protecting freedom of speech and press

Through the years, SDX has created a legacy of worthwhile programs to achieve these aims, including:
— Pulliam/Kilgore Freedom of Information Internships
— Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship for Editorial Writers
— Eugene S. Pulliam First Amendment Award
— Diversity Toolbox/Rainbow Sourcebook

Contributions to the Foundation help support these and other programs:
— SPJ Convention & National Journalism Conference
— Ethics in Journalism Week
— The Ethics AdviceLine
— Diversity Leadership Outreach Program
— National Freedom of Information Coalition Annual Conference
— Eugene C. Pulliam Editorial Writing Fellowship
— Training on the Go newsroom training seminars
— SPJ Narrative Writing Workshops
— Eugene S. Pulliam First Amendment Award
— Spring Journalism Conferences
— Mark of Excellence Awards honoring collegiate journalists
— Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press
— National Conference of Editorial Writers Minority Writers Seminar
— Annual Surveys of Journalism and Mass Communications

The work of the Foundation depends on time, talent and financial support from journalists and others who support these goals.

SDX Chapter Scholarship Fund

SDX Chapter Scholarship Fund

Gifts to SPJ and local chapters are not considered charitable contributions and, thus, are not deductible. Only 501(c)(3) charitable organizations — like the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation — can offer donors a tax deduction. Recognizing this as an opportunity to add real value to the SPJ experience, the SDX Foundation board of directors is announcing a unique program to allow chapters to create their own special "account" within the foundation. Find out how your chapter can benefit.
