This grant facility supports enabling activities and supporting services for environmental investigative journalism as a whole. It seeks to promote collective development and support services for environmental investigative journalism, by providing funding to project ideas from organisations and institutions for training and professional development programmes, i.e. skills-focused professional training or fellowship programmes targeted at enabling investigative journalists to upskill with regards to reporting on environment related issues.
ELIGIBILITY:
Any incorporated legal entity can apply. In the application it should describe its experience with investigative journalism, environmental issues, and/or the development of supporting services. The proposed project should contribute to the further development of environmental investigative journalism in Europe.
Applying entities do not necessarily need to be based in Europe. However, the proposed project should clearly advance investigative environmental journalism in Europe.
If the project is a collaboration between several organisations, one organisation should apply for the Journalismfund Europe grant. In the application form you can provide information about the partnering organisations and their role in the project.
If a grant is awarded, the applying organisation is responsible for the project and the grant towards Journalismfund Europe.
In the budget that is part of the application, only personnel costs of the applying organisation can be listed under ‘Personnel costs’. All costs of partner organisations should be listed under ‘Operating costs’.
BENEFIT:
The total available amount per call to be distributed among all supported projects will be around €115,000.
