Background of The Africa No Filter Media Grant for Women Storytellers

Women’s voices are still underrepresented in the media. To help close this gap, the latest Media Grants by Africa No Filter are aimed exclusively at women storytellers and women-owned media organisations and outlets. This grant call-out wants to contribute to an increase in African female storytellers and content creators and to give space to voices that are historically misrepresented and underrepresented across the continent.

Journalists, bloggers, vloggers, content creators, podcasters can apply for Project Support grants worth up to $10,000 while organisations can apply for Operational Support and Capacity-Building grants of up to $25,000.

All applicants should have a track record of creating work that challenges stereotypical narratives of Africa through innovative, creative and compelling storytelling. They should also be involved in at least one of the following:

Disrupting and challenging harmful and stereotypical narratives and shaping new narratives about and within the continent
Training and building the capacity of female journalists or content creators
Amplifying creativity and innovation within the continent
Using data-driven insights and analysis to shed light on transformations taking place within the continent
