Description
The Transparency & Governance Reporting Grants, offered by the Pulitzer Center, fund in-depth journalism projects that investigate systems, organizations, and individuals undermining governance, enabling corruption, and destabilizing societies. The initiative prioritizes cross-border and collaborative reporting, data-driven investigations, and innovative, interdisciplinary approaches. Supported projects often follow money across borders, expose opaque supply chains, and scrutinize the root causes of corruption—including enabling laws and policies. The Center encourages creative distribution and audience engagement strategies and seeks to support diverse reporting teams, especially those reflecting the communities they cover and from the Global South.
