The Newspaper Association of America Foundation was established in 1961 by the Board of Directors of the American Newspaper Publishers Association. In 1992, the ANPA merged with six other newspaper associations to form the Newspaper Association of America, and the NAA Foundation adopted its current name.
The NAA Foundation is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization representing all newspapers equally. There are no requirements for membership, and the Foundation does not collect member dues. All programs offered by the NAA Foundation are supported by an endowment funded by the newspaper industry.[1][2][3]
