EJN is offering grants to organizations with support from the Kingfisher Foundation to support reporting and media development activities on coastal resilience topics. These organizations will receive support to expand media coverage of coastal resilience in regional languages, conduct training for journalists through workshops or webinar series, delve into specific issues through enterprise or investigative stories, develop online courses or other resources for journalists and media professionals and other potential activities.
WORTH
- They anticipate supporting at least 3 organizations with up to $10,000 each in funding. Generally speaking, applications with smaller budgets will be more competitive, but they will consider larger grant amounts up to $10,000 for projects using innovative approaches that may be more resource-intensive and time-consuming.
ELIGIBILITY
- Media organizations, journalist networks, universities and journalism institutions focusing on coastal resilience reporting are welcome to apply.
- Civil society organizations, community-based groups and research institutes will also be considered – but only those with strong media and communication components that are dedicated to supporting fair and accurate reporting. Please note that they will not consider applications rooted in advocacy, activism or political campaigning.
- They are accepting applications from organizations in any country in the world, with a preference for those from coastal countries.
- Generally, they prefer to support organizations conducting work in the country where they are based but will consider applications from organizations looking to collaborate with groups in coastal countries.
- For the purposes of this grant opportunity, they will only be accepting applications in English, Spanish and French (translations of this call for proposals are available at the bottom of the page). Unfortunately, they do not have the capacity to consider applications in other languages at this time. Applicants must either have a working understanding of English or have a translator available to assist with communication with Internews staff. However, project activities such as story publication may be completed in any language.
- Organizations must be legally registered in their country and maintain a bank account with the ability to receive international funds.
- Organizations in India and Bangladesh (and potentially other countries with similar requirements) must have the appropriate license to receive foreign funding to be eligible.
- For administrative reasons out of their control, they are unfortunately unable to support organizations in Pakistan.
- Organizations that have received support from EJN in the past are eligible, and EJN will take past performance into consideration during the selection process.
- EJN reserves the right to disqualify applicants from consideration if they have been found to have engaged in unethical or improper professional conduct.
DEADLINE: May 2 2022
