HOW TO APPLY FOR A GRANT FROM THE NJ CIVIC INFO CONSORTIUM
We are excited to share that the New Jersey Civic Information Consortium grant applications are LIVE. Applications are due at 11:59 PM eastern time on Wednesday, March 31, 2021.
The Consortium is a first in the nation initiative to grow access to local news and information. 
The Consortium will consider applications from all parts of the state, but is especially interested in proposals that focus on better serving communities of color, immigrant communities and rural communities.
The Consortium is focusing on three key areas for these initial grants, based on the following current pressing information needs of New Jerseyans:
-
News and information that promotes community health, including information surrounding the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on our communities.
-
Reporting and civic technology projects that make government information more accessible and hold public officials accountable.
-
Diversifying New Jersey’s journalism pipeline, media education and journalism/storytelling training in communities that lack trusted news sources and/or where coverage is one-dimensional and doesn’t meet community needs.
