The Pulitzer Center is officially opening its doors to African local movements, seeking innovative proposals for its latest Africa Climate and Environment (ACE) Microgrants initiative.
These microgrants are designed to bridge the gap between investigative journalism and public engagement, specifically focusing on how environmental issues intersect with transparency and governance.
Organizers are looking for projects that shed light on critical issues like natural resource management, corporate accountability, and the protection of Indigenous communities across the continent.
Funding and benefits
Selected applicants will receive support to develop outreach projects that creatively bring Pulitzer Center-supported environmental stories to life for new audiences.
The program offers a unique platform for organizations to amplify the impact of investigative reporting, turning deep-dive journalism into community action and awareness.
Application requirements and eligibility
Eligibility is restricted to African-based local movements, including civil society organizations, media houses, social enterprises, and think tanks committed to environmental transparency.
Proposed projects must demonstrate a creative way to integrate existing Pulitzer Center reporting into activities such as public exhibitions, digital campaigns, or regional conferences.
Successful applications will show how they plan to involve a broad spectrum of society, including young professionals, government officials, and business leaders.
The Center encourages a diverse range of outreach strategies, provided they focus on sparking reflection and debate regarding environmental management and biodiversity.
Deadline
Interested parties must submit their applications in either English or French no later than April 30, 2026, to be considered for this funding cycle.
