Call for Proposals: Reporting Democracy Grants for Journalists


Reporting Democracy is inviting journalists from Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe to submit proposals for compelling stories that shed light on democracy issues facing the region.

This grant opportunity aims to support analytical and investigative journalism, advocate for media freedom, and amplify voices addressing social justice, the rule of law, minority rights, equality, access to public services and other topics pertinent to human rights.

Journalists are encouraged to pitch story ideas on relevant subjects falling under the umbrella of Reporting Democracy.

Grants, each valued 2,000 euros, are available for professional freelance or staff journalists with proposals for investigative, analytical or feature pieces.

Reporting Democracy will provide editorial support and a platform for publishing and distributing selected stories.
