About the Benton Foundation
Established in 1981, the Benton Foundation works to realize the social benefits made possible by the public interest use of communications. Bridging the worlds of philanthropy, public policy, and community action, Benton seeks to shape the emerging communications environment and to demonstrate the value of communications for solving social problems. Through demonstration projects, media production and publishing, research, conferences, and grant making, Benton addresses the critical questions for democracy in the information age.
About The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation was established as a national philanthropy in 1972 and today is the largest U.S. foundation devoted to health care. The Foundation concentrates its grantmaking toward three goals:
- to assure that all Americans have access to basic health care at reasonable cost;
- to improve the way services are organized and provided to people with chronic health conditions; and
- to promote health and reduce the personal, social, and economic harm caused by substance abuse - tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs.
