Local cross-border investigative journalism grants available [Europe]

Posted on Feb 21, 2025 in Investigative Journalism

Journalists and local news outlets in Europe can apply for grants to cover investigative stories.

Journalismfund.eu is offering the European Local Cross-Border Journalism Grants. This grant program aims to address the shortage of local journalists and award grants to local investigative and in-depth journalistic projects.

The program focuses on cross-border collaboration, which will allow interested local journalists and/or media outlets to explore possible solutions using expansive resources.

Local cross-border teams of at least two professional journalists and/or local news outlets can submit a proposal for a journalistic investigation about issues that concern and relate to Europe.

A total grant budget of EUR365,000 will be distributed over two application rounds. The next call will distribute EUR250,000 among all supported investigations.

The next deadline is March 27.
