The Environmental Reporting Collective is proud to announce we’re accepting applications for Collaborative Investigation Grants open to media outlets, journalists, and freelancers.
These grants ($1000 to $3000 USD) are specifically aimed at promoting collaboration, and allowing journalists from different countries to work together to fill in gaps in each others’ reporting, especially when tracing environmental crimes across borders.
Funds can be used creatively, and there is no travel requirement. Ideas for how to use funds include:
- Translation of documents/sources available in different languages.
- Photo or multimedia components to reporting.
- Data or document access fees.
- Database or resources fees (example – satellite monitoring, or corporate databases)
- Translation of final stories into different languages.
- For freelancers – compensation for time spent reporting.
WORTH
- The grant amount is between $1,000 to $3,000.
ELIGIBILITY
- Applications must include at least two journalists or media outlets from two different countries or regions. Freelancers are welcome to apply.
- Proposals must be investigative, and have an environmental focus (you can interpret this broadly).
- Applicants must be able to demonstrate how their story would benefit from collaboration.
DEADLINE: November 30 2021
