Deadline: 27 May 2025
The National Press Foundation in partnership with the National Press Club Journalism Institute are inviting applications for the Kozik Environmental Justice Reporting Grant Program to support U.S. based journalists who plan to cover environmental justice.
The topics could include coverage of the disproportionate harms to disadvantaged communities from pollution, the effects of climate change, or other relevant topics.
Funding Information
- Grants up to $15,000 will be awarded to support journalism in any medium that centers on environmental justice and environmental racism in the United States.
Eligibility Criteria
- Work must be published or broadcast, or an extension requested, by Dec. 31, 2025, in a U.S.-based media outlet.
Application Requirements
- Journalists must submit a one to two-page proposal by the deadline, explaining the project they wish to cover, a budget to explain the amount requested, and where the finished work would likely appear.
- Submit three samples of your work that you’re most proud of having produced. The submitted work doesn’t have to cover environmental justice; in your application, help the judges connect the work you’ve done and the work you’re hoping to do with these funds.
- Newsroom journalists must submit a note of support from their supervisor. Freelance journalists should submit a note from an assignment editor expressing interest in publishing their work.
