Description
1) Objective
The Pulitzer Center seeks applications for the reporting initiative focused on the systems, organizations, and people that destabilize countries, erode democracies, and enable corruption. They value cross-border and collaborative reporting, data-driven projects, and innovative, interdisciplinary approaches. Pulitzer Center grantees report on shadowy finance schemes, mismanagement, abuse of power, and other systemic exploits and failures that destabilize countries, erode democracies and governance, and empty national coffers. They investigate the root causes of corruption, including the laws and policies that provide cover to otherwise immoral activities.
They are actively seeking to support deep reporting projects that follow the money across borders; shed light on opaque and harmful supply chains; and investigate the systems, organizations, and people that enable corruption. You can apply for a Transparency and Governance grant or propose your project via one of our yearlong investigative fellowships on Rainforests, Oceans, and AI.
2) Eligibility
Grants are open to all journalists: writers, photographers, radio producers, and filmmakers; staff journalists as well as freelancers.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide. They particularly welcome applications from the Global South and seek reporting from Africa, Latin America and South and South East Asia.
4) Budget
They do not have a budget range. They will consider projects of any scope and size, as long as the budget matches the true cost and ambition of the story.
5) Application
Applications can be submitted on a rolling basis. The application must be done online.
