    Big ideas in journalism deserve support, and there’s money out there to make them happen. Knowing where to look — and how to make your case — is key.

    Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute, the Pulitzer Center, and the National Press Foundation, three organizations that provide grant funding for reporting projects, as we pull back the curtain on how to find and position yourself to win grants and fellowships designed for journalists. We’ll also learn about an emerging platform being developed by a Reynolds Journalism Institute fellow that will aggregate funding opportunities for staff and freelance journalists.

    From funding that backs bold reporting projects to fellowships that provide time and resources for growth, you’ll walk away knowing what’s possible for your work — and how to go after it.

    Program panelists:
    Anne Godlasky, National Press Foundation President
    Marina Walker Guevara, The Pulitzer Center Executive Editor
    Monica Williams, Independent Journalist and Reynolds Journalism Institute Fellow
    Moderator: Elliot C. Williams, National Press Club Journalism Institute Training Manager

    Whether you’re a freelancer chasing your next big investigation or a newsroom reporter looking to back a new project, this free session will give you the confidence and tools to secure the funding you need.
