Journalismfund Europe | European Cross-Border grants

Journalism Fund Europe grant addresses the shortage of independent journalism

This award-winning European Cross-border Grant programme (running since 2009) supports cross-border teams of professional journalists and/or news outlets who have strong ideas for cross-border investigations and for research on European topics.

The proposed projects must have substantive news value and depth, while at the same time being original and using innovative investigative methods. The stories must be relevant to European audiences.

Journalismfund Europe supports costs related to journalistic research for types of media formats, which could not be covered without the grant support. This can include travel, translation, access to pay-databases and/or time to pursue the research. We do not support fixed costs such as office costs and other investments such as cameras or computers or production costs.

Alongside the applications for funding, teams can also apply to receive support from a project advisor and work with an expert to enrich their investigation.
