Grant News
Lankelly Chase is an independent foundation working with people across the UK to change the systems that perpetuate severe and multiple disadvantage. The Foundation is opening a new £250,000 News and Media Fund to enable people who are either currently under or misrepresented in the news to have their stories read and heard.
Funding of up to £30,000 per grant will be available to charitable and non-charitable organisations, constituted groups and networks:
- To support a collection of independent conversations, partnerships, experiments or spaces where people can come together to explore what it means to reimagine and renew parts of the news and media system.
- To encourage work that is led by or connects with or amplifies people’s voices subject to extreme marginalisation.
- To explore how the field of news and media can become more diverse.
- To support different narratives to emerge around healing, justice and liberation.
- To use financial resources to give people the time and space needed to nurture new or existing relationships across different parts of the news and media field and with communities subject to marginalisation.
- To begin a collaborative inquiry with people who are willing to learn alongside us.
The Fund has been designed to encourage different connections and conversations, and has been intentionally kept broad in scope.
The deadline for proposals is the 22nd March 2021.
Lankelly Chase will be arranging a Zoom drop in on Monday 8th March at 4 pm for anyone who wants to find out more or share any questions. Please email mary@lankellychase.org.uk for the link.
