Journalism Travel Grant

Job Description

The nonprofit Neal Peirce Foundation anticipates offering up to seven journalists travel grants of up to $1,500.00 each in 2026 to support undertold stories about urban solutions to make cities and their larger regions work better for all people. 

An ideal project for us to support is one where a journalist aims to inform a critical local debate in their home market by reporting on how a promising approach in another city is working. Here are two examples of stories we have supported that demonstrate this approach. Please read them and consider how your proposal can help cities learn from each other. 

  To be considered, please complete this brief application: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeCxoyEQneeIo9sDFxD9U0HpUwRvY8LO3X-RRYzRGr0VNMwgA/viewform

The submission deadline is October 13, 2026.

Job Requirements

Reporters, writers, editors, and photographers working in print, online, radio, television, podcasts and multimedia are eligible for travel grant awards if they have had stories published or aired in the previous 3 years. 

We especially welcome applicants early in their journalism careers or from backgrounds underrepresented in today’s news medi
