Journalists and fact-checkers pursuing grant-funding can enroll the “Grant Writing for Journalists Course”, a free online training designed by the International Fact-Checking Network at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies in collaboration with the Center for Sustainable Media.

The self-paced, fully asynchronous course walks participants through the details of a typical grant application process from start to end. It includes developing an organizational strategy; finding grants to support the strategy; developing the components of a grant application; designing budgets; and creating monitoring and evaluation plans.
