About this organization
Mission
The Organization provides critical support to independent journalists to investigate news stories regarding corruption, malfeasance, exploitation, misappropriation of funds in the public and private sectors
About
The Fund for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) operates a grant program that provides critical support for freelance and independent journalists who produce investigative stories that otherwise would never come to light. Our grantees have ideas, sources, and know-how, but lack the funds to successfully complete an investigative project. To further support their work, the organization also seeks experienced investigative journalists as mentors for its grantees. Before awarding grants, the Fund receives written commitments from news outlets that supported work will be published or broadcast as long as it meets the news organizations' standards. Journalists who receive grants from the Fund present their work in newspapers, magazines, books, on broadcast programs -- TV and radio -- and on web sites in text, audio, and video.
