Fact-checking organizations that are verified signatories of the IFCN’s Code of Principles and/or organizations that have been regularly publishing non-partisan fact checks over the last three months can apply.
The International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) and Facebook have launched the second round of the Fact-Checking Innovation Initiative, focusing on technology innovation and development.
The initiative offers grants of up to US$100,000 to support projects aimed at strengthening fact-checking and the fight against misinformation.
Applicants that are not fact-checking organizations but partnering with fact-checking organizations are also eligible.
The deadline is July 24.
