--- ## Description The Pulitzer Center’s Global Reporting Grants are designed to support in-depth, high-impact journalism on critical global issues that are often overlooked in mainstream media. Open to both staff and freelance journalists of all nationalities and backgrounds, these grants encourage ambitious, cross-platform projects that may combine print, photography, audio, and video for one or more news outlets. The Center prioritizes originality, impact, and creative approaches to content distribution and audience engagement. Projects must demonstrate a strong commitment from news outlets, particularly through interactive or multimedia enhancements. The grant is intended as a flexible opportunity for journalists to pursue underreported stories that address global systemic crises, with a focus on raising awareness and driving engagement. --- ## Due Dates - Applications accepted on a rolling basis; there is no deadline. - Applicants typically receive a response within two to three weeks of submission. --- ## Funding Amount - Most awards for international travel projects range from $5,000 to $10,000. - Actual funding may be higher or lower depending on the project's scope and budget justification. - Grants cover only the hard costs of reporting (e.g., travel, accommodations, data, local partners); stipends for journalists are only considered in exceptional cases. - Payments are made in two installments: half upon paperwork completion, half upon submission of principal material for publication or broadcast. --- ## Eligibility - Open to all journalists: writers, photographers, radio/audio producers, filmmakers, staff journalists, and freelancers. - Applicants from all countries and territories are eligible. - Teams and collaborative projects are encouraged; editors may apply on behalf of a team but must provide information about all team members. - Applications must demonstrate a credible distribution plan and include letters of interest or commitment from news outlets. - For projects in conflict or hostile environments, freelancers must have a firm assignment from a news organization assuming responsibility for safety. - Applications may be submitted in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, or Bahasa Indonesia. --- ## Application Process - Submit proposals via the [online grant application form](https://pulitzercenter.tfaforms.net/5052132). - Required materials: - Project description (max 250 words) - Publication/distribution plan with letters of interest or commitment from outlets - Preliminary budget (covering hard costs only) - Three samples of published work - Three professional references (contacts or letters) - Curriculum vitae - All applications must be written in English (supplemental materials may be in other accepted languages). - For safety, applicants reporting in high-risk areas must follow [ACOS Alliance principles](https://www.acosalliance.org/the-principles) and may include Hostile Environment Training in the budget. - No overhead/indirect costs or equipment purchases allowed (equipment rentals considered case-by-case). --- ## Additional Information - The Center does not fund: - Books (unless a story is published independently in a media outlet) - Feature-length films (short documentaries are eligible) - Staff salaries or general outlet expenses - Equipment purchases, start-up seed money, routine breaking news, advocacy/marketing campaigns, or academic-only data projects - Editorial independence is guaranteed. - Applicants may reapply if not selected. - The Center encourages creative audience engagement beyond traditional publication (e.g., events, performances, alternative media). --- ## External Links - [Global Reporting Grants Program Page](https://pulitzercenter.org/grants-fellowships/opportunities-journalists/global-reporting-grants) - [How to Apply](https://pulitzercenter.org/how-apply) - [Online Application Form](https://pulitzercenter.tfaforms.net/5052132) - [Frequently Asked Questions](https://pulitzercenter.org/applying-reporting-grant-frequently-asked-questions) - [Tips for a Successful Application](https://pulitzercenter.org/tips-writing-successful-pulitzer-center-grant-proposal) - [ACOS Alliance Principles](https://www.acosalliance.org/the-principles) --- ## Contact Information | Purpose | Contact | |------------------------|---------------------------------------------------| | General Inquiries | [contact@pulitzercenter.org](mailto:contact@pulitzercenter.org) | | Editorial/Grant Queries| [reacheditorial@pulitzercenter.org](mailto:reacheditorial@pulitzercenter.org) | | Phone | (202) 332-0982 | | Address | 2000 Pennsylvania Ave NW Suite #7000, Washington, DC 20006 | ---
