Journalismfund Europe : Environmental Investigative Journalism Grants

Author:Zeineb Haj Slimane

The Environmental Investigative Journalism programme supports cross-border teams of professional journalists and/or news outlets investigating illegal, unreported, and unregulated environmental issues linked to European interests, both within and beyond Europe.

Supported investigations must result in publications in at least two media outlets based in different countries, with at least one being a European outlet targeting European audiences.

Next to investigations of environmental issues that transcend borders, this programme can also support and stimulate investigations that compare local environmental issues and policies between two or more places.

Your proposal should include a hypothesis and proposed methodology for a journalistic investigation, as well as a detailed budget.

Financial assistance provided under this programme may cover costs related to working time and a range of expenses, including logistics, insurance, legal support, as well as access to technology and data sets.

In addition to funding, teams can get support from a mentor.

DEADLINE: August 06, 2026 at 13h00 CET
