About the organization
Investigate is a grant-making initiative of the Fund for Investigative Journalism (FIJ), established to support independent investigative reporting. Since its founding in 1969, FIJ has provided grants to journalists uncovering stories of public importance, with a particular emphasis on local and underrepresented communities. Investigate serves as the online submission portal for FIJ's regular grants, offering financial support to freelance and staff journalists for travel, document acquisition, and other reporting expenses. The program prioritizes projects that hold power accountable and fill gaps in news coverage, reflecting a commitment to rigorous, public-interest journalism.
