Stichting Fonds Bijzondere Journalistieke Projecten supports journalists with grants and fellowships for training, research, and the production of in-depth journalistic work. Its funding is especially geared toward freelance, regional/local, and Caribbean Kingdom journalists pursuing investigative reporting, longform stories, podcasts, books, documentaries, and other ambitious projects. The funder is distinctive for offering several year-round application windows and tailored support for pre-research and replacement staffing, helping working journalists take time to develop substantial projects.
Mix of year-round open applications and periodic rounds, with grants typically in the roughly $7,350-$38,600 range. It offers both project funding and professional development support, including pre-research grants and variants with replacement staffing for employed regional/local journalists.
Check the specific regeling carefully, because some programs are open year-round while others work in rounds with fixed deadlines. Applicants should clearly show the public-interest value, research depth, and final format of the project, and Caribbean-based journalists should look at the separate 2026 Caribbean round with its own deadline and eligibility rules.
