About The Pulitzer Center Journalists Grant Opportunity
The Pulitzer Center invites journalists to submit proposals that spotlight underreported issues affecting communities across Africa. This initiative aims to support impactful, high-quality journalism that not only informs but also drives meaningful change in policies and community behavior.
Benefits of The Pulitzer Center Journalists Grant Opportunity
The Pulitzer Center supports projects of varying scope and size, without a fixed budget range. The focus is on quality, impact, and feasibility rather than scale.
Funding typically covers:
- Reporting and production costs

However, the grant does not cover:
- Book projects or feature-length films
- Staff salaries for newsroom employees

Freelance compensation is generally expected to be covered by publishing outlets, though exceptions may be considered with proper justification.
