History

Journalismfund.eu vzw is a Brussels-based independent non‐profit organisation incorporated by citizens in 1998, dedicated to advancing independent cross-border investigative journalism across Europe in order to promote democracy. It ultimately serves the public interest, furthers accountability as well as transparency, and contributes to critical thinking and well-informed debate.

Journalismfund.eu administers grants to foster exemplary investigative journalism throughout Europe and beyond and to promote journalistic innovation. Journalismfund.eu’s flexible grants programmes enable journalists to produce relevant public interest stories with a European mind-set from international, national, and regional perspectives.

Mission 

We believe that journalism is crucial to fostering living democracies throughout Europe. We are dedicated to advancing independent and investigative journalism across Europe that serves the public interest, furthers accountability as well as transparency, and contributes to critical thinking and well-informed debate. 

Vision

We aim to promote and develop professional journalism in Europe in response to the challenges and opportunities stemming from increased digitalisation, the internationalisation of political, business and criminal power structures, as well as changing revenue models.
