Grants

Donations and funding given to the South Carolina Institute for Independent Journalism will support important South Carolina journalism projects by independent, locally-owned weekly newspapers that apply for financial support. 

What we fund

The Institute seeks social entrepreneurs in the news generation business who share our belief that local, independently-produced news is a public good.  We consider proposals that support civic journalism projects that promote high-quality local news and include local financial backing. 

Grants are limited and awarded upon availability of funding.  If you are interested in proposing a grant to support an independent news project, send a proposal of no more than one page to the contact information below.
