The International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) announced ENGAGE grants to 20 projects from 15 countries to enhance efforts against misinformation. Each project receives up to $100,000 for 12 months, focusing on scaling operations, audience engagement, and sustainable funding. This is part of the Global Fact Check Fund, which has allocated nearly $8 million since its 2023 inception. Projects range from using AI to improve data access in India to multimedia initiatives aimed at strengthening media literacy. Recipients will share insights with the global community to foster collaborative learning and growth.
The selected projects showcase creative ways fact-checkers are tackling misinformation, such as leveraging AI to improve access to public datasets in India.
The ENGAGE grants are designed for IFCN signatory organizations ready to scale operations and develop sustainable revenue streams beyond third-party fact-checking programs.
The Global Fact Check Fund has awarded nearly $8 million to 154 organizations in 71 countries since its launch, supporting the fact-checking community's needs.
Recipents of the ENGAGE grants must share their outcomes and lessons learned with the global fact-checking community to inspire similar initiatives worldwide.
