About Int'L Center for Journalists

The Int'l Center for Journalists Inc backs journalism through fellowships, awards, project grants, and program assistance, with a clear emphasis on innovation, professional development, and support for journalists working in difficult environments. Its largest recent grants went to the Border Center for Journalists and Bloggers, including $397,687 in 2023 and $376,156 in 2024, both listed as program assistance (subawards). The same pattern of support appears across other newsroom and journalism organizations, from Sembramedia in Los Angeles to the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism CUNY Foundation Inc in New York and Arizona State University Foundation for a New American University in Tempe. The foundation also uses awards and fellowships to recognize and develop journalists. Active programs include the ICFJ Knight Fellowships, which place fellows in newsrooms worldwide for innovation, experimentation, mentorship, and financial support, and the Michael Elliott Award, which honors excellence in journalism. Its active program list also includes initiatives focused on crisis reporting, disinformation, journalist safety, access to information, investigative reporting, and media technology. Across its recent grants, the foundation supports both large institutional partners and smaller project-based efforts. That mix suggests a funder that combines direct capacity support with targeted journalism initiatives.
