McCormick Foundation has selected Education Development Center (EDC) to provide technical assistance to the grantees of its Why News Matters initiative.

The overall goal of EDC’s support will be to build the capacity of each grantee to best serve their constituents. To reach this goal, the team will support grantees’ program planning and evaluation efforts, engage grantees in a community of practice focused on initiative goals, facilitate affinity groups to foster strong working relationships and information-sharing, offer resources and training on topics identified by the grantees, and capture lessons learned/synthesize findings over time to help inform McCormick’s learning agenda.
