Independent media and civil society organizations can apply for these grants.
The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) established an emergency program "Ukraine: Relief, Resilience, Recovery" (U3R) to support Ukrainian citizens, including journalists and independent media.
Media support includes grants of a maximum of US$25,000. Projects can last from three to 12 months.
Grant money can be used for immediate needs such as salaries, costs for temporary relocations; support for media content creators; access to wellbeing services for journalists, personal safety/survival trainings for journalists in war/conflict zones and more.
Projects should be initiated by CSOs and independent media legally registered in Ukraine, which are based or relocated to and working from Ukraine and neighboring countries. The involvement of additional local partners is encouraged and welcomed.
Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
