Description
This microgrant program is designed to empower U.S. organizations and groups to develop civic engagement projects that leverage Pulitzer Center-supported journalism. The focus is on fostering public debate, amplifying the voices of affected communities, and driving meaningful audience engagement around critical issues: climate and the environment (with emphasis on U.S. fisheries, fishing communities, and climate-labor intersections), information and artificial intelligence, and global health (including mental well-being and connections to the Global South). Projects must integrate Pulitzer Center reporting and aim for real-world impact through community engagement, knowledge sharing, and innovative outreach activities.
