Independent Journalism Grant offered by Open Society Foundation

The Open Society Foundation is accepting applications for its Independent Journalism and Innovation Grant program to support promising initiatives led by individuals or collectives that strive to improve their journalism under difficult circumstances, such as autocracy, violence, repression, or poverty—or in moments of great opportunity, such as first democratic elections, peace agreements, or massive social mobilizations.
