Deadline Date: April 23, 2026
The Professional Development Grant Programme for Environmental Journalism is now accepting applications to support activities and services that strengthen environmental investigative journalism across Europe.
The programme focuses on professional development for environmental investigative journalists through training sessions, fellowship programmes, skills-focused professional training, or other activities and tools that enhance journalists’ capacity to report on environment-related issues.
The focus areas include professional development activities, supporting services for environmental investigative journalism, training programmes, fellowship opportunities, and initiatives that enable investigative journalists to better investigate environmental issues.
The total budget for this grant in 2026 is €225,000, distributed over three application rounds with €75,000 allocated per round. Eligible proposals must be clearly defined, time-limited, and carried out by legal entities with a proven track record of working with journalists and/or environmental issues. Organisations must have been officially incorporated for at least one year prior to the application deadline, and individuals are not eligible to apply. The grant cannot be used for core funding or permanent operational costs, and in cases of collaboration between multiple organisations, only one should submit the application while acknowledging partner organisations.
