THE International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) is accepting applications for the Kim Wall Memorial Fund, which will provide $5,000 in grants to journalists whose work embodies the spirit of Kim’s reporting.
The grant will fund women or non-binary reporters covering subculture, broadly defined, and what Kim liked to call “the undercurrents of rebellion.” Kim wanted more women to be out in the world, brushing up against life, and the Kim Wall Memorial Fund honours this legacy.
Grants will be awarded to cover reporting-related costs including travel, logistics, insurance, visa fees, professional stipends and payments for producers, translators, etc.
Women journalists with one or more years of professional work experience can apply for a US$5,000 grant.
Applicants must have excellent written and verbal English skills in order to fully participate in and benefit from the program. However, reporting may be published in any language.
The application deadline is December 8, 2024.
Interested applicants can apply here.
