Canadian Association of Journalists:
The Emergency Fund for Canadian Journalists has been established for its working journalist members in times of crisis. A free press in Canada means journalists should be able to report without fear of physical or verbal assault, intimidation, or any other form of persecution.
Thanks to the generous support of the Inspirit Foundation, the CAJ is able to provide micro-grants up to $500 for acute supports needed to cover short-term expenses related to threats and crises caused by one’s work as a journalist. The funding is not intended to provide long-term solutions and, in addition to applying for this acute source of financial support, the CAJ encourages any potential applicants to also seek out long-term measures to aid with the on-going issue.
Applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis and will prioritize those from marginalized communities and those whose financial means limit them from seeking out other supports.
