The next deadline to apply for grants from the fund, which reviews applications three or four times a year is Monday, May 9, 2022. Grants can be as much as $10,000 to cover expenses of investigations, including travel, research and equipment rental. Recipients can request editorial and legal help as they work on their projects. Applicants must supply a letter of commitment from a news outlet agreeing to publish the proposed story.
The fund is looking for stories “that break new ground and expose wrongdoing, such as corruption, malfeasance, or misuse of power – in the public and private sectors.”
The fund website has more details about the application process.
