Posted by The Lenfest Institute for Journalism on March 26, 2024

Local news organizations and community groups are invited to apply for grant funding to enhance coverage of Philadelphia’s new administration and encourage civic engagement 

As Philadelphia’s new city government prepares to mark its 100th day in office, the Every Voice, Every Vote coalition of community groups and media organizations is announcing the launch of a new two-year, $2.875 million grant program to support in-depth local journalism and catalyze civic action around the issues that matter most to Philadelphians.

Every Voice, Every Vote is organized by The Lenfest Institute for Journalism, which first built the coalition to elevate Philadelphia’s diverse voices and inform voters ahead of the 2023 city elections. With a coalition of 130 media outlets, community nonprofit organizations, and civic-minded social media creators as partners, the project is Philadelphia’s largest-ever collaborative journalism and community engagement effort.

As the administration ramps up its efforts to address Philadelphia’s most pressing challenges, Every Voice, Every Vote partners will catalyze collaboration and build stronger connections among media outlets, community organizations, residents, and elected officials to continue an ongoing movement to encourage civic engagement, raise issues, and track progress over time.

Funding will range from $10,000 to $150,000, and the grant term will run from May 2024 through November 2025. The deadline to apply is April 19, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. EDT.
