The Alaska Impact Reporting Initiative is looking for stories that increase public understanding of complex, underreported issues in Alaska.

The Alaska Center for Excellence in Journalism grant opportunities are made possible with the support of the Atwood Foundation.

Before you apply, you need to obtain a “Letter of Commitment” from an editor or manager who can pledge in writing that the news outlet will publish or air the project you propose – as long as it meets the publication’s expectations and standards.

Collaboration among local news organizations is encouraged. A majority of the project team must be Alaska-based.
