A grant for stories in Europe, up to €10k
Journalism.eu are supporting Europe-based stories, offering grants between €2,000 and €10,000 depending on your project.
Any topic is valid, but they're particularly interested in projects that deal with local issues, and perhaps involve collaboration with other journalists.
Plus they have a mentorship program, which supports successful applicants through their project, helping solve problems as they occur.
Here’s what they have to say:
”Is there an appealing, intriguing, refreshing and engaging story(s) in your local city that you want to share with the world? Would your story have some correlation with other local European cities or around the world? Are there local issues that you could bring to life by comparing and contrasting with other local European cities who may be experiencing the same issues?
Are you open to collaborating with other local journalists from other parts of Europe? Are you eager to write something you're interested in but you lack the resources? Compelling stories can be found everywhere, even at the local level.
Local flavor would attract local audience but local flavor in collaboration with other local European journalists would reach a wider audience and add life beyond the borders of your own city.
We are hungry for stories from your own backyard! Stories that are not only hard-hitting investigative journalism but also awe-inspiring. As we are currently living in a polarizing world where bad stories are newsworthy, we also welcome investigative stories of change and hope, and to give a platform to local voices. In every nook and crannies and corners of the world, there are plenty of stories waiting to be told. Let yourself be the guide to the way people view your own city.
As we aim to increase local investigative journalists in Europe, we believe that this grant program will be a step toward the right direction. We are highly focused on cross-border collaboration. Work with your peers from other parts of Europe to bring your stories to life and expand your reach. “
Deadline: 7th July 2022
