Canadian Journalists for Freedom of Expression

Member of JID Network

CJFE's Journalists in Distress program provides humanitarian assistance to journalists around the world whose lives and well-being are threatened because of their work. Since its creation in 1999, the program has disbursed over $300,000 and supported dozens of journalists in need.

The programme covers expenses for:

  • Legal fees when journalists are detained.

  • Medical expenses when journalists are caught in the line of fire or traumatized by their coverage.

  • Transportation costs to flee a dangerous situation.

  • Financial support for the families of journalists who have been killed or imprisoned.

  • Resettlement costs within first year of arriving in a final safe country.

Civil Rights Defenders

Committee to Protect Journalists

The fund was renamed in honour of Gene Roberts, the veteran U.S. journalist and former chairman of the CPJ board who was instrumental in the creation of the Journalist Assistance program.

The program also raises funds for journalists from outside sources and collaborates with other freedom of expression organizations.

Digital Defenders Partnership - Incident Emergency Fund

The IEF provides up to €10,000 and can be used to cover costs which will directly reduce the risk or impact of a digital attack. The funding covers activities for a maximum of four months, and the fund aims to respond to requests within two weeks.

The fund covers, amongst other things:

  • Replacement of hardware or software

  • Purchase of more secure hard- and/or software and costs related to installation of the new systems.

  • Technical or non-technical activities to respond to urgent issues such as internet blockages.

  • Measures to improve physical security (related to information management and digital security).

  • Measures to address the psychological and psychosocial impacts of digital threats and risks.

DDP target groups are women, feminist and LGTBQIA+ organisations; land and environmental rights defenders; and journalists and other actors who make information available to the public. However, each regional team defines the target groups for each call. Check the call for your region.

DocuDays UA support for Ukrainian filmmakers

The fund helps filmmakers by providing them with the most necessary filming equipment (e.g. batteries, hard drives, memory cards, chargers, adapters, microphones, replacement of damaged lenses, etc.) and covering expenses for fuel, medicine and first aid kits, as well as basic needs in emergency situations (one-time payments of up to 4,000 UAH).

Help is provided primarily to Ukrainian filmmakers who are currently filming actively, participating in the organization of the filming process or the development of filmed footage.

Requests are processed on a first-come-first-served basis. Assistance is provided depending on whether funds are available.

DOCU/HELP is no longer accepting responses.

Foreign Aid Bridge Fund

Priorities for Media and Media Support: The Foreign Aid Bridge Fund primarily focuses on sectors such as health, agriculture, sanitation, climate adaptation, livelihoods, education, and humanitarian response.

However, organisations operating within these fields that have a significant media or communication component may be considered for funding, especially if their media activities are integral to delivering essential services and information to communities.

Geographical Priorities: Global. The fund addresses urgent needs across various regions impacted by the U.S. foreign aid freeze.

Type of Funding Available: The Foreign Aid Bridge Fund offers critical, short-term grant-based financing designed to ensure immediate impact and program continuity. This rapid-response mechanism provides flexible funding to high-impact organizations with sustainable business models, enabling them to maintain or resume essential operations disrupted by the aid freeze.

JX Fund

The JX Fund is supported by a broad alliance of media, civil society organizations, and an extensive donor pool.

When entire editorial teams have to leave their home country due to repressive laws and legal threats, it’s important that they are able to continue their reporting in exile seamlessly. The JX Fund supports media outlets in exile at every step of the way – filling a previous gap in support. The efforts of the JX Fund range from resolving humanitarian difficulties in the initial arrival phase (such as residence permits, health insurance, psychological support) through to consulting on business and funding models that are tailored to the media market of their current country of residence, and developing effective strategies to ensure that they can continue to reach their target audiences back home. The overarching objective is to rebuild a sustainable media landscape in exile.

Grants: The JX Fund awards grants of varying amounts to help media outlets in exile get back on their feet. The outlets are selected based on transparent criteria and the advice of an expert committee that meets on a regular basis.

Financial support is awarded both to media outlets that were already established in their countries of origin and which had clearly defined audiences, as well as to outlets that have developed new models for their work in exile and are in a start-up phase. The prerequisite for applying is a clear and workable editorial concept and a medium-term financial and strategic plan for further development and strengthening of the medium.

The duration of the funding, maximum grant sums, and additional conditions vary with each funding round. Applicants can apply for and receive funding more than once. The decision to fund a project, as well as how much to award, is made by a rotating five-person international expert committee on the basis of transparent selection criteria.

Lifeline Embattled CSO Assistance Fund

Network for Empowered Aid Response (NEAR) Change Fund

Priorities for Media and Media Support: While NEAR's primary focus is on promoting equitable and dignified partnerships within the aid system, it does not explicitly prioritise media or media support. However, media organisations that function as local or national CSOs and align with NEAR's mission and values may be eligible for membership and support. NEAR's emphasis on local participation and capacity building can indirectly benefit media entities committed to community engagement and development.
