The International Women’s Media Foundation is accepting applications for its Women Entrepreneurs in the Global Digital News Frontier grant program. The initiative is funded by the Ford Foundation.
The program is open to United States-based women journalists proposing to use digital media in innovative ways to deliver the news. A successful applicant will be dedicated to a media career, and will clearly demonstrate how her project furthers the role of women in digital news media. In addition, she will provide a business plan that demonstrates project sustainability, including tangible benchmarks to measure success.
Three awardees will receive grants of $20,000 each to launch digital news media projects, as well as pro-bono coaching and technical assistance to support their work.
