Our History....
An endowment by Zena H. Chapman from the estate funds of her late husband,
Judson W. Chapman of Greenville, South Carolina, established the Foundation in
1984. His career in journalism had culminated in his becoming Executive Vice
President of the Greenville News-Piedmont Company, a predecessor to Multimedia,
Inc. His widow held on to the Multimedia stock during its major growth period.
Later in life, as a continuance of their history of philanthropy, she
contributed a major portion of the estate to founding the Foundation for
Improvement of Justice, Inc.
The Foundation is operated by a Board
of Directors, comprised of Chapman family members and non-family individuals who
have various careers in our justice systems. Substantially all of the
endowment's earnings are paid out each year in awards. The Board members serve
without financial remuneration. Their rewards are much the same as those the
recipients have been receiving--the satisfaction of feeling that their efforts
are contributing to the improvement of justice.
