SDX is a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization that supports the educational programs of the Society of Professional Journalists and serves the professional needs of journalists and students pursuing careers in journalism.

SDX helps by:

Through the years, SDX has created a legacy of worthwhile programs to achieve these aims, including:
— Pulliam/Kilgore Freedom of Information Internships
— Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship for Editorial Writers
— Eugene S. Pulliam First Amendment Award
— Diversity Toolbox/Rainbow Sourcebook

Contributions to the Foundation help support these and other programs:
— SPJ Convention & National Journalism Conference
