The Fund for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) and the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism at Brandeis University are seeking applications for a project designed to broaden opportunities for diverse journalists in independent investigative reporting.
The initiative invites applications from two communities:

Pioneered with support from the Ford Foundation, this is the second consecutive year that grants and matching fellowships will be offered to help journalists of diverse backgrounds widely recognized as underrepresented in the ranks of U.S. independent investigative reporters to report and write important stories about unreported or underreported social justice issues.
Eligibility Criteria
  • Applications from women and journalists of color working in any type of media: print, audio, video, online will be considered.
  • Applicants must be U.S. citizens but can be reporting from abroad.
How to Apply
