The Uproot Project Fellowship
At The Uproot Project, we believe important environmental stories need to be told. We believe that underrepresented journalists bring critical and fresh perspectives to covering these stories.
The Uproot Project Fellowship offers funding to seven journalists to pursue reporting projects over the course of a year. Fellows will receive up to $2,000 to cover travel and other reporting expenses and will also receive support from Uproot to place their stories with a media outlet, if requested. Fellows’ projects should focus on stories related to one of four categories: (1) environmental justice, (2) climate solutions, (3) water, food, & culture, and (4) science. Projects should be aimed at highlighting how the climate crisis and key environmental issues of our time are inextricably linked with other forms of inequity. These are the kinds of stories that have often been left out of the narrative in mainstream environmental journalism and the ones that The Uproot Project is dedicated to uplifting.
