Fund for Investigative Journalism has grants for reporters

The Fund for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) offers grants for reporters to produce high-quality, unbiased, nonpartisan investigative stories that have an impact.

Freelance journalists, staff reporters and media outlets are eligible for grants, and the investigative journalism stories can be for print, online or broadcast stories, books, documentaries or podcasts.

The organisation provides four types of grants, which include regular, seed funding, expedited, follow-up and emergency grants.

Regular grants are up to $10,000 while seed funding are up to $2,500. Follow-up grants may be up to $2,500. Emergency grants are for stories that expose wrongdoing related to threats to democracy in the U.S. and reporters may get up to $10,000.

While expedited grants are reviewed on a rolling basis, the next deadline for regular grants is January 29, 2024.
