Internews Europe
Key takeaways
- If your work is in local information, independent media, journalism training, environmental journalism or civic information access, it matches the charity's stated themes, and its geographic focus is given as around the globe.
- Its annual report and website publish no application process and no grant range, so neither gives a typical request size; the charity does describe support from individual story grants to multi-year organisational support, so a modest, specific request is a reasonable starting point.
- The charity says it listens first to how information moves in a community and which sources people rely on, and it invests early in people and projects already doing the work, so a short approach through the contact shown on its website should explain that local picture.
- Neither the annual report nor its website says anything about timing or how competitive funding is, so ask the contact about both before you put effort into a full proposal.

Priority Areas
Internews supports local information partners, including independent newsrooms, local media and media organisations, to strengthen trustworthy information in their communities. Its work begins by listening to how information moves and which sources communities rely on, then invests in people and projects already doing the work and sustains support so partners can operate independently. Support ranges from individual story grants to multi-year organisational support, with capacity-building and training in reporting, data analysis, safety and organisational planning. Through the Earth Journalism Network, it provides journalists with training, mentoring and story grants, and supports media organisations through grants, networking, digital innovation and reporting collaborations. Its approach is community-led rather than one-size-fits-all.
