Conflict zones and political persecution where artists are exposed to censorship, displacement or violence.
Restrictions on freedom of expression where social and cultural repression limits creative autonomy.
Environmental crises where climate change and ecological destruction threaten communities and artistic ecosystems.
Economic and systemic exploitation, where working conditions, resource extraction and global inequalities affect artistic freedom of action.

United States Journalism Emergency Fund Application
The fund provides emergency assistance to U.S.-based journalists whose reporting on politically charged events in the United States has exposed them to harm, risk, or crisis.
Journalists covering elections, protests, civil movements, and other highly polarized or volatile environments may experience threats, harassment, injury, or trauma as a result of their work. This fund is designed to support journalists whose professional reporting placed them in danger or made them vulnerable to these impacts—whether through direct targeting, sustained harassment, or hostile conditions connected to their coverage.
You may request support for:
Immediate needs related to your professional work, such as destroyed or stolen equipment and protective gear;
Small grants for medical and psychological care for incidents directly related to threats and crises caused by one’s work as a journalist.
Compensation: Dependent on request
Submissions Due: Rolling
