Big ideas in journalism deserve support, and there’s money out there to make them happen. Knowing where to look — and how to make your case — is key.
On Sept. 9, 2025, the National Press Club Journalism Institute, in collaboration with the Pulitzer Center, the National Press Foundation, and the Reynolds Journalism Institute, pulled back the curtain on how to find and position yourself to win grants and fellowships designed for journalists. Each speaker shared strategies to find more opportunities, sharpen your proposals, and stand out among your peers to help you face these questions more confidently.
Panelists included:
- Anne Godlasky, National Press Foundation President
- Marina Walker Guevara, The Pulitzer Center Executive Editor
- Monica Williams, Independent Journalist and Reynolds Journalism Institute Fellow
Moderator: Elliot C. Williams, National Press Club Journalism Institute Training Manager
