Initial funding resulted from a $600,000 donation to Loyola University by Freeport-McMoRan, Inc., for the purpose of endowing an academic chair in environmental communications. This was increased by a $400,000 donation by the Louisiana Board of Regents, and the result was the Loyola Chair in Environmental Communications, held by Dr. Robert A. Thomas. Loyola University additionally gives direct and indirect support to the position.
