Full details for the funding opportunity can be found here. Scroll all the way down the page for the application requirements and details.

Bertha Foundation is excited to announce the launch of the fifth Bertha Challenge: an opportunity for activists and investigative journalists to spend a year working on one pressing social justice challenge and to deliver a body of work at the end of the Fellowship year. Successful applicants will receive non-residential paid Fellowships and project budgets to work independently and together.

The fifth Bertha Challenge will begin in January 2024 with a focus on disinformation and the climate crisis.

Joint applications between activists and investigative journalists will
be prioritized. Joint applicants must fill in individual application
forms, but make reference to their partner applicant, including where
and how their work will overlap and how they will support one another’s
projects.
