Donor Name: The Chronicle of Philanthropy
State: All State
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Fellowship
Deadline: 02/25/2022
Size of the Grant: $15,000
Details:
Its goal is to give news organizations access to the tools and training they need to write powerful stories that attract and engage more of their readers and to expand their accountability journalism across a variety of beats, both during the fellowship and over the long haul.
Through this one-year fellowship, journalists at local, regional, and nonprofit news organizations will have the opportunity to work with the Chronicle of Philanthropy to develop and publish articles about the people and organizations in their regions or coverage areas that are trying to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems and improve the quality of life for all.
This fellowship is part of an extensive collaboration with the Associated Press and the Conversation designed to shed light on one of the most under covered — but crucial — sectors of American life.
They are encouraging newsrooms to submit proposals for stories and projects that:
- Advance the understanding of nonprofits and charitable giving among citizens, entrepreneurs, business executives, government officials, policy makers, and others.
- Examine whether charities and foundations are making a difference (or not) on important problems facing the communities news organizations serve.
- Deepen the conversation about nonprofits in civic life.
- Build understanding about the importance and inner workings of philanthropic giving.
- Expand the national conversation about philanthropy and its role and influence.
Funding information
The newsrooms selected will each receive a $15,000 stipend to subsidize the work of reporters and editors on projects for publication at their own organizations and in the Chronicle.
Eligibility Criteria
The fellowship is open to all news organizations in the United States, with preference given to local, regional, or nonprofit news organizations.
