Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
Global Press trains reporters and builds independent news bureaus, staffed by local journalists, in some of the world's least-covered places. Their commitment to high-quality employment and their robust Duty of Care program ensures that reporters have the tools they need to tell the stories the world most needs to hear, and the safety and security mechanisms in place to ensure they are safe and well in the process. This general operating support grant maintains editorial independence for Global Press newsrooms in all countries.
for developing a more transparent financial reporting system
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.
