About Journalismfund European Local Cross-Border Grants
This grant, mentoring and scholarships programme aims at addressing the shortage of local independent journalism by administering grants to local investigative journalistic projects in Europe and stimulating cross-border collaboration.
This programme will:
- Stimulate local journalists and (small) news outlets to conduct investigative journalism and learn from colleagues in other countries, creating a European network of local (investigative) journalists in the long run.
- Stimulate local journalists and news outlets to compare with other regions and cities in other countries that face similar problems or challenges, which are eminently European issues.
- Increase the dissemination, reach and impact of local investigative journalism.
Benefits of Journalismfund European Local Cross-Border Grants
- In 2024 the total grant budget is €475,000 to distribute over four application rounds (€118,750 per call).
