Here's how you can help
journalists like Sam:
Give to SEJ Programs to support essential training, resources and convening, such as:
- Annual Conference events like "Podcasting Across Divides and in Community"
- SEJournal resources like "COP28 Will Be Earth-Shaping News in 2024 and Beyond" and "Expert Advice Helps Journalists Navigate Unfamiliar Scientific Seas"
Give to SEJ's Fund for Environmental Journalism to support small story grants, such as:
- "These Foreign Workers Have Some of the Hardest Jobs in Idaho. Are They Mistreated, Too?" by Ian Stevenson for Idaho Statesman, August 20, 2023.
- "Carbon Valley" (podcast episodes 1-9 inclusive), by Cooper McKim.
- "Saving Oregon's Rocky Coast: A Key Role for the Region's First People," Jefferson Public Radio and Oregon Public Broadcasting, by Kate Kaye.
Give to SEJ's Conference Diversity Travel Fellowships to help cover the costs of registration, travel, lodging and other expenses of Diversity Fellowships. Here’s what past participants had to say:
- "I would not have been able to attend without the SEJ/Uproot diversity fellowship, and I am truly grateful for it as this is easily the best conference I've been to as a newer journalist. I am truly grateful for the program and hope it can be expanded so even more people, who otherwise would not be able to, can attend."
- "As an emerging freelance photojournalist in the midwest I have limited resources and opportunities to attend conference. This limits my ability for professional growth and networking. I would not have been able to attend the workshop without the Uproot Project Fellowship."
Give to the SEJ Members in Need Fund to help cover fee waivers and other costs of participating in SEJ programs, for members experiencing financial hardship.
