Who?
This opportunity is open to U.S. residents and journalists around the world. The opportunity is open to proposals from freelance journalists, staff journalists, or groups of newsrooms working in collaboration with a project idea. We want to make sure that people from many backgrounds and perspectives are empowered to produce journalism. We strongly encourage proposals from journalists and newsrooms who represent a broad array of social, racial, ethnic, underrepresented groups, and economic backgrounds.
What?
GRANT OVERVIEW
Women and girls are disproportionately affected by global crises and face discrimination and violence worldwide. In the fight against the disparities they endure, they show resilience, strength, and leadership.
The Gender Equality Grant is designed to help journalists take to a new level the reporting on issues related to gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.

Funding
What is the budget range for proposals?
The average size of a Pulitzer Center grant is $5,000, but may be more or less depending on circumstances.
Do you pay stipends or salaries for freelance journalists?
It is expect news organizations to pay freelance journalists for their work, though in exceptional cases, it may be consider stipends to cover a reporter’s time, if provided in the budget with an explanation. It is OK to include costs of contractors, such as data researchers, illustrators, or data visualization/story designers in your proposal and budget. Please do not include stipends for journalists/team members who are in the employ of newsrooms or are being paid by a publisher.
