During the COVID-19 pandemic, independent media organizations and civil society groups faced immense physical and financial strains, as well as difficulties in continuing the work they do in their communities.
In support of these organizations, Meedan launched the Check Global COVID-19 microgrants fund in Asia-Pacific, in Africa, in Latin America and in the North Africa and Western Asia regions.
We received applications on themes ranging from fact-checking and verification projects, to media and digital literacy campaigns, photography and podcasts.
