The application window for Press Forward’s first-ever open call is now open. This open call for funding is focused on addressing the long-standing inequalities in journalistic coverage of underserved communities. Press Forward will provide 100-plus news outlets with an expected $100,000 each in funding, whether they are nonprofit or for-profit entities. The funding will be unrestricted, general operating support, allowing the news organizations to spend it as needed to sustain and grow their operations.
Press Forward invites interested applicants to attend this information session that will cover grantmaking criteria and eligibility guidelines, how to use the JustFund application platform and resources for grant seekers.
This webinar will be recorded if you are unable to attend. If you have any questions, please visit pressforward.news/opencall.
