Grants

Tanzania Media Fund is primarily a grant-making organisation for the media sector in Tanzania.

Through a competitive grant system TMF aims to support individual journalists, media houses, civil society organisations and training institutes to improve the quality and quantity of public interest and investigative journalism in Tanzania.

We offer two types of grants:

• Grants for individual journalists based in mainland Tanzania and/or Zanzibar, and
   
• Institutional grants for media houses, media associations, civil society organisations (CSOs) and media training institutes officially registered in mainland Tanzania or Zanzibar.

Awarding Criteria
TMF will award grants to proposals that focus on investigative and public interest journalism.

Successful proposals will also contribute to at least one of the following priority areas:

• Improving public transparency and accountability and promoting informed public debate.
   
• Increasing the diversity of voices in the public sphere, especially voices from rural areas and/or of historically excluded people.
   
• Addressing the underlying causes of poverty in Tanzania.

We invite journalists, media houses and organisations to apply.
