Journalists around the world who need funding to do investigative stories have about two weeks to apply for a grant from the Fund for Investigative Journalism, FIJ

The FIJ is seeking grant proposals for independent investigative projects from journalists who need support for travel and other reporting expenses. Applications are now being accepted but must be submitted Monday, June 10.

The Fund usually gives grants of up to $5,000 to support the costs of reporting, such as travel and document production expenses, to practicing journalists, freelancers and others interested in doing independent investigative reporting work.
