Deadline: September 24, 2019
Applications for the Journalismfund.eu Money Trail Grants 2019 are now open. In Money Trail, Journalismfund.eu offers working grants for mixed teams of African, Asian and European journalists to investigate cross-border illicit financial flows, tax abuse and corruption in Africa, Asia and Europe.
Grants are awarded to journalists solely by Journalismfund.eu, with no input or oversight at any stage from the consortium as a whole. There will be 10 application rounds over the three years.
Money Trail is a collaborative project between highly regarded journalism and training organisations such as Finance Uncovered, Free Press Unlimited, Oxfam Novib and Journalismfund.eu. Money Trail is supported by the Dutch Nationale Postcode Loterij.
Grant
- The total amount per call is around 50,000 Euro. Journalismfund.eu supports costs related to journalistic research for all media.

They do not support fixed costs such as office costs, investments such as cameras or computers or production costs.
