Deadline: May 31, 2025
Applications are open for the Tarbell Grants 2025. As artificial intelligence grows more advanced, the technology and the people building it grow increasingly consequential. Tarbell believes journalism plays a crucial role in helping the public understand AI — and in holding companies and policymakers to account. Tarbell offers grants to support original reporting published in established outlets, whether from freelancers or staff. They primarily focus on written journalism, but they also fund journalism in other formats.
They are seeking to fund forward-looking stories, examining how today’s technical advancements and policy decisions lay the groundwork for how artificial intelligence will shape our future. As AI systems become increasingly capable, we may only be beginning to see their influence on society. In-depth reporting can improve what we see next.
