1 for All and its campus initiative were founded in partnership with ASNE, and with help and support from the Knight Foundation, the McCormick Foundation, the First Amendment Center and the Newseum.
Six schools were selected to receive $5,000 grants to conduct programs in the next academic year as part of the national 1 for All campaign to raise awareness of the First Amendment: Dominican University of California, North Georgia College and State University, University of Memphis, University of Minnesota, University of Missouri and Wilbur Wright College of Chicago.
The McCormick Foundation grants — administered in partnership with ASNE and the First Amendment Center — are designed to bring thought-provoking First Amendment programs and speakers to university and college campuses nationwide. “As the 1 For All campaign celebrates its first anniversary, we're pleased to extend the Liberty Tree Initiative, a remarkable partnership that taps into the energy of the First Amendment and the insights of experts, academic leaders, artists, musicians and journalists across this country,” said ASNE President Ken Paulson, president and CEO of the First Amendment Center and a founder of 1 for All.
