More about this event
In light of increasing social polarization, the existential crisis facing journalism and the ongoing expansion of so-called news deserts, Media Forward Fund is committed to supporting independent journalism outlets that have viable business models, publish outstanding, trustworthy content and can sustainably finance themselves over the long term.
Strong democracies depend on everyone having access to reliable and credible information so they can actively participate in the public debate.
For this reason, Media Forward Fund supports media organizations that are focused on the common good and are seeking to expand their financial sustainability with a specific project. In doing so, they are closing a gap in reporting and are ideally relying on approaches that differ from existing practices in the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and/or in their own market. Media Forward Fund has a particular focus on media organizations reporting for target audiences that have thus far been underserved by the news media.
The call for applications is now open. Submit your application between August 11 and August 22, 2025.
