The Democracy & Media Education Foundation was created as a non-profit, charitable organization established to support Journalism, Press, and other Media efforts directly and indirectly related to the reporting and other conveyance of information to the American Public, with a particular focus on American Democracy and electoral processes. The Foundation is completely non-partisan and, due to its own charter, is not engaged in any political activity whatsoever (and has intentionally excluded participating in that political activity allowed by law).
