DEADLINE: Roling basis ― Female journalists who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can apply for the International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF)‘s $2,000 Journalism Relief Fund.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the IWMF is turning its attention to how it may best serve our community of women journalists at this unprecedented moment in history.
Based on early, anecdotal evidence of cancelled assignments, lost income and an inability to pay essential living expenses, IWMF anticipates a great need for support within the global network of journalists – especially among freelancers with no safety net.
The IWMF’s Journalism Relief Fund is open to women-identifying journalists in dire straits – journalists who have faced significant financial hardship, lost work, were recently laid off or who urgently need assistance to avoid severe, irreversible outcomes.
This fund will provide small grants of up to $2,000 USD per request. However, special consideration will be given on a case-by-case basis to those who have greater financial need.
If your situation is not urgent, IWMF urges you NOT to apply to this fund. This is because IWMF has limited staff capacity to review applications. The foundation furthers urges applicants not to delay help to their peers in need by submitting a request that is not urgent.
