1. IRE Freelance Fellowship - For Journalists
This fellowship provides cash awards to assist independent journalists with investigative projects. Fellowships are awarded for nonfiction project proposals that demonstrate impact, breadth, and significance. Proposals for books, documentaries, cable series, and other long-form projects are eligible. They also accept proposals for shorter-term work, such as video or audio projects for broadcast or online sites, articles for newspapers, magazines, online sites, and niche news publications, among others. Proposals that deal with whistleblowers, business ethics, or privacy issues will be given priority. Funding ranges from $2,000 to $4,000.
Deadline: September 29, 2025
