Overview
This grant to Global Press Institute (GPI) will allow the organization to hire two consultants to review and reorganize its internal financial processes and design industry-leading financial transparency reporting systems for both donors and readers. A specialized nonprofit accounting firm will remodel and build the systems and transparent data designs for financial presentation. This consultant will also support GPI in its first formal audit. A design firm will then work with GPI to design financial statements that will allow for both donors and readers to understand the organization's financial operations and reflect its commitment to transparency.

for general operating support
The Global Press Institute trains and employs women in developing countries to produce journalism that features local voices on underreported issues. These voices contribute to the strength of the international women’s movement. This grant will support training programs for women in developing countries to become local journalists. The institute will update and expand the curriculum program to scale training on reporting to new global locations, and offer new employment opportunities to 100 women as journalists. This grant will also allow the institute to support institutional strengthening by investing in operational, administrative, and governance infrastructure.
