About EJN Biodiversity Media Grants
EJN Biodiversity Media Grants 2026, Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN) is offering grants to three to four media organizations in low- and middle-income countries to support projects that strengthen media reporting on biodiversity issues.
Benefits of EJN Biodiversity Media Grants
- They anticipate supporting three to four organizations with grants of 10,000-12,000 EUR each. In general, proposals with smaller budgets will be more competitive. Larger grants amounts will be considered for projects that use innovative approaches and may be more resource-and time- consuming.
EJN Biodiversity Media Grants Requirements
- Media organizations in countries classified as either low- or middle-income by the World Bank are eligible to apply for this opportunity.
- They are especially interested in supporting projects in biodiversity-rich regions of the world, or projects in countries facing unprecedented biodiversity loss.
- This opportunity is open to journalist networks, media organizations, civil society organizations or academic institutions. Although we will consider applications by NGOs or environmental groups looking to build the capacity of journalists to cover conservation issues, preference will be given to applications from or affiliated with professional journalists, media organizations and journalism schools.
- They will not consider applications rooted in advocacy or political campaigning.
- For the purposes of this grant opportunity, we will only be accepting applications in English. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to consider applications in other languages. Applicants must have a working understanding of English or have a translator available to assist with communication with EJN staff.
- Existing or former EJN grantees are eligible to apply; they will take the performance of existing or former grantees into consideration during selection, however we will not support organizations that we awarded grants to in 2025.
- Applicants are required to be transparent about the use of generative AI tools, if any, to revise their proposals. EJN reserves the right to disqualify applicants from consideration if they have been found to have engaged in unethical or improper professional conduct, including, but not limited to, submitting AI-generated content as their own.
