The DP Foundation stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and the enduring spirit of The Daily Pennsylvanian's Alumni. Established in 2023, as a tax-exempt single member LLC (SMLLC), the foundation has a clear mission to safeguard the legacy of The Daily Pennsylvanian and ensures its continuous growth and impact within the University of Pennsylvanian community and beyond.
At its core, the DP Foundation serves as a custodian of the The Daily Pennsylvanian Inc.’s assets, ensuring their effective management and growth. Through careful financial planning and a long-term strategic vision, the foundation secures the organization’s sustainability and continued success. Moreover, the Foundation plays a pivotal role in the maintenance and utilization of the organization’s physical space, which will serve as the operational hub for The Daily Pennsylvanian publications, brands and educational programs. This soon to be state-of-the-art facility is not only a symbol of progress but also a valuable resource that the Foundation will leverage to support and enhance the journalistic endeavors of student contributors.
