Applications are open for the ODA Germany Grants Call, launched by the European Journalism Centre (EJC) to support journalistic projects being delivered by individuals or teams of freelance and/or staff journalists and by content creators on the topic of German ‘Official Development Assistance’.

The Call is aimed at staff and freelance journalists, and at content creators, publishing with opinion-forming media organisations that are based in and/or have significant reach to audiences in Germany. 

Grantees will have a six-month period to research, produce, edit, and publish their story. Projects that are grounded in explanatory journalism and deep-dive reporting that have a strong emphasis on data-driven journalism, solutions journalism, and social media are encouraged to apply. 

The ODA Germany Grants Call will deliver grant funding of up to €15,000, with a minimum of €5,000 and a maximum of €15,000.

The Official Development Assistance Germany Grants call is supported by Gates Foundation.
