“We support journalists in covering under-told stories about ways to make cities and their metro regions work better for all their people. An ideal project for us to support is one where a journalist aims to inform a critical local debate by reporting on how a promising approach in another city is working. Our travel grants of up to $1,500 enable journalists to travel to cities within the U.S. to produce one or more stories for publication. The awards, selected through a competitive review process, cover travel expenses necessary for on-the-ground reporting. We invite full-time freelancers as well as journalists currently employed by a news organization to apply.”
