Media organizations with a strong record of public interest journalism can apply for grants up to US$350,000.
The International Fund for Public Interest Media (IFPIM) is accepting proposals for its first funding call. IFPIM is a new multilateral initiative designed to support independent public interest media especially in low- and middle-income settings.
The fund aims to dramatically increase the amount of resources available to support trustworthy, ethical, fact-based journalism, and enable the media to work for democracy.
Grants will be provided over a period of up to two years.
The first funding call is open to media organizations in 17 countries: Ghana, Kenya, Niger, Senegal, Sierra-Leone, South Africa, Lebanon, Tunisia, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Afghanistan, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Georgia and Ukraine.
The deadline is June 13.
