The Earth Journalism Grants Fund is currently open for applications to support the creation, growth, and capacity of journalism organizations focused on reporting the human dimensions of climate change.
The Earth Journalism Grants Fund is focused on capacity and network building with flexible spending guidelines that enable local networks to invest in strategic opportunities, build the capacities of their members, and respond to communities’ needs.
Projects funded by this grant should have a strong thematic focus on climate change. Particular attention should be given to how climate change affects vulnerable and marginalized communities.
WORTH
- This grant fund contains $50,000 USD and ideally will be allocated to 5 projects. While the average for each grant is approximately $10,000 USD, we can provide funding over the average for projects that demonstrates a critical need.
ELIGIBILITY
- The Earth Journalism Grants fund is designed to support the establishment of environmental journalism networks in countries where they don’t exist, and build their capacity where they do. Applicants should note their affiliations with existing media organizations or provide detailed plans about how this project would facilitate the creation of a new organization.
As Internews is strictly a media development organization, please avoid any applications rooted in advocacy or political campaigning.
DEADLINE: 15th May 2015
