BRUSSELS - You can apply for a grant at the Pascal Decroos Fund for Investigative Journalism up to and including Sunday 17 November. Reports, documentaries, books, podcasts, ... we support your in-depth research.

The third and final application round of 2019 has its deadline on Sunday, November 17. The support is provided in the form of grants to individual journalists. They must be able to demonstrate that their project entails unusually high costs or is of such a time-consuming nature that the normal remuneration of editors or publishers is not sufficient to realize the project. The projects must transcend regular reporting, daily journalism or correspondence. The subject or theme must be special, or else the approach. As always, all forms of special journalistic projects for the written or audiovisual press are considered: reports, documentaries, series, books, podcasts, ...
The project should be published via a Flemish media-outlet.

Do you want help with preparing your application? Do you have difficulty composing your budget? We like to help you! Contact our project coordinator Kristof Polfliet via mail or telephone.
