Grant Overview

Priority Outcomes for Minnesota Journalism Grants Supporting Global Investigative Reporting

Minnesota is a hub for investigative journalism, with several organizations and initiatives dedicated to supporting in-depth reporting on important issues. The Journalism Grants Supporting Global Investigative Reporting program is designed to support independent reporting and storytelling projects that address overlooked global and community issues. When evaluating proposals, the funder prioritizes projects that align with specific outcomes that are critical to the state's journalism ecosystem.

Key Outcomes for Minnesota Applicants

The funder has identified several key outcomes that are essential for Minnesota applicants to demonstrate in their proposals. These outcomes include:

  1. In-depth coverage of underreported issues: Proposals that focus on investigative reporting projects that shed light on important but often overlooked issues in Minnesota and globally. This could include projects that examine the intersection of social justice and environmental issues, such as the impact of climate change on indigenous communities in the state.
  2. Amplifying diverse voices: Projects that amplify the voices and stories of underrepresented communities in Minnesota, including communities of color, rural communities, and immigrant populations. The Minnesota Historical Society has a long history of supporting projects that preserve and promote the state's diverse cultural heritage, and proposals that align with this mission may be given priority.
  3. Driving policy change: Proposals that demonstrate a clear potential to drive policy change or hold those in power accountable through investigative reporting. This could include projects that examine issues related to government accountability, corruption, or systemic inequality.

Minnesota's unique geography and demographics make it an ideal location for investigative reporting projects that focus on issues related to the state's rural-urban divide. The state's rural areas are often characterized by limited access to resources and infrastructure, making it difficult for journalists to report on important issues. Proposers who can demonstrate an understanding of these challenges and develop innovative solutions to address them may be given priority.

The funder also recognizes the importance of supporting small business grants for women in Minnesota, particularly in the journalism industry. Women-owned businesses are underrepresented in the state's media landscape, and proposals that support the development of women-led journalism initiatives may be given priority. According to the state of Minnesota grants database, there are several programs available to support women-owned businesses, including the Minnesota Women's Business Development Center.

Achieving Priority Outcomes in Minnesota

To achieve the priority outcomes outlined above, Minnesota applicants should demonstrate a clear understanding of the state's journalism ecosystem and the challenges faced by journalists and media organizations. Proposers should also be able to demonstrate a strong track record of producing high-quality investigative reporting and a clear plan for how they will engage with and amplify the voices of underrepresented communities.

Applicants should also be aware of the resources available to support their projects, including grants from the state of Minnesota and other organizations. For example, the Minnesota Housing Grants program provides funding for projects that address affordable housing issues, and proposers who can demonstrate a clear connection between their investigative reporting project and the state's housing issues may be given priority.

Q: What types of projects are eligible for funding under the Journalism Grants Supporting Global Investigative Reporting program in Minnesota? A: Projects that focus on investigative reporting and storytelling, particularly those that address underreported issues and amplify diverse voices, are eligible for funding.

Q: How can Minnesota applicants demonstrate their ability to drive policy change through investigative reporting? A: Applicants can demonstrate their ability to drive policy change by providing examples of past reporting projects that have led to policy changes or held those in power accountable.

Q: Are there any specific resources available to support women-led journalism initiatives in Minnesota? A: Yes, there are several resources available, including the Minnesota Women's Business Development Center, which provides support for women-owned businesses, including those in the journalism industry.
