Last chance for Skype advice on your 9 / 15 grant application

With our September 15 working grant application deadline coming up, Journalismfund.eu is planning a third and final day of Skype advice sessions with Director Europe Brigitte Alfter. The advice sessions will take place on Tuesday 2 September.

The Skype advice sessions are a new idea that we initiated for the first time for our September 2014 application round. Journalists can present their idea for a cross-border project to our Director Europe, experienced investigative journalist Brigitte Alfter. In that way, they get advice for their project or they gain insight into our expectations, which allows them to better prepare their application. Read more

Journalismfund.eu to offer expertise to others

In view of a working grant collaboration between our Flemish Fonds Pascal Decroos grant programme and the Flemish Filip Decock foundation, Journalismfund.eu will start offering its expertise to other organisations that want to support investigative journalism through research grants.

Journalismfund.eu’s core business is and will always be to stimulate independent, in-depth quality journalism in Europe. We do this in many different ways, the most important being by offering working grants to journalists to do research for a project they can’t get financed in any other way.

In September 2014 we’ll be teaming up with another organisation for the first time to launch a special ‘custom’ working grant application call with them. The Flemish Filip Decock foundation offers two working grants of €3,000 each for journalism projects focusing on their specific field of interest: the third world. Read more
