Slavko Ćuruvija Foundation: Local media invited to apply for funding

The Slavko Ćuruvija Foundation has launched a call for project proposals, inviting local media organizations across Serbia to apply for support in producing content that serves the public interest. This initiative aims to bolster local journalism that prioritizes citizen needs and addresses important issues within their communities.

Eligible media outlets must be actively reporting on matters of public significance, consistently producing informative content, and focusing on local affairs. The foundation emphasizes the importance of adhering to the Serbian Journalists' Code of Ethics and recognizing the jurisdiction of the Press Council. Applicants must also be registered with the APR and have been in operation for at least one year.

Funding is designated for the creation and distribution of informative content that directly responds to the needs of citizens in their respective local areas. While the thematic scope is open, eligible costs include research into citizen needs, content production, and distribution. The maximum grant amount is $5,000 USD, with projects expected to conclude within six months. A kick-off workshop will be held for supported media, with project activities slated to commence in September 2026. Applications, including a completed form and budget in USD, are due by July 15.
