The IFCN/Google News Lab fact-checking bursary provides an immediate injection of funds to a fact-checking project that is set to have a high impact.

The IFCN flash grant provides an immediate injection of funds to a fact-checking project that seems likely to have a high impact.

Requirements:
  • APAC fact-checking projects* that expect a high return from this investment.
  • The goal is to provide a limited but rapid boost to fact-checkers that have a concrete idea but need limited resources to implement them quickly. Applicants should think of this bursary as seed funding to get started (no additional funding will be made available).

Funding:

US$ 10,000

Funding can be used to cover any operational or project-specific costs. How the money will be spent is far less relevant than what the applicants expect to achieve.
