About the Organization

The Pulitzer Center champions the power of stories to make complex issues relevant and inspire action. Through grant and fellowship programs, we provide financial and editorial support, training, and collaboration networks for journalists to pursue in-depth, high-impact reporting projects.

We create communities of learning that amplify Pulitzer Center journalism through education and outreach programs, connecting teachers, students, artists, influencers, and decision makers with stories that matter.

We believe in the power of journalism to spur change.

Pulitzer Center programs have helped change harmful laws and policies; held some of the world’s top businesses and brands accountable for destructive practices; and equipped citizens with context and data that illuminate challenges and possible solutions to the complex issues that affect their lives.

About the Grant

We seek applications for our reporting initiative focused on the systems, organizations, and people that destabilize countries, erode democracies, and enable corruption. We value cross-border and collaborative reporting, data-driven projects, and innovative, interdisciplinary approaches.

This grant is open to freelance and staff journalists worldwide.

Pulitzer Center grantees report on shadowy finance schemes, mismanagement, abuse of power, and other systemic exploits and failures that destabilize countries, erode democracies and governance, and empty national coffers. They investigate the root causes of corruption, including the laws and policies that provide cover to otherwise immoral activities.

We are actively seeking to support deep reporting projects that follow the money across borders; shed light on opaque and harmful supply chains; and investigate the systems, organizations, and people that enable corruption. You can apply for a Transparency and Governance grant or propose your project via one of our yearlong investigative fellowships on Rainforests, Oceans, and AI. In recent years, the Pulitzer Center has invested in several in-depth, high-impact reporting projects related to transparency and governance.

How to Apply

• A description of the proposed project in no more than 250 words (you can also attach a longer project description or reporting plan as “Additional Materials”);
• A preliminary budget estimate, including a basic breakdown of costs;
• A compelling distribution plan

This opportunity is open and we are accepting applications. Please review our grant application guidelines and apply today. If you have specific questions about applying, please contact reacheditorial@pulitzercenter.org.

We aim to support teams that reflect the communities they report on. We hope this grant can help our partner organizations advance their diversity, equity, and inclusion goals and commitments. We accept grant proposals on a rolling basis. You typically will hear back from us one-two weeks after submitting your application.

We particularly welcome applications from the Global South and seek reporting from Africa, Latin America and South and South East Asia. We are also interested in receiving proposals for collaborative reporting projects by teams of reporters investigating corruption, transparency, and governance issues.
