The Kim Wall Memorial Fund seeks applications to support women and nonbinary journalists pursuing stories about subcultures and the undercurrents of rebellion in the spirit of Kim Wall’s adventurous, globally minded reporting.

The fund is for reporting on subcultures, broadly defined, and what Wall called “the undercurrents of rebellion,” including stories about people and communities that are often overlooked.Annual grants of $5,000 cover reporting-related costs such as travel, logistics, insurance, visa fees, professional stipends, and payments for producers and translators. Equipment purchase or rental, academic research, and research for academic publication are not supported.

Women and nonbinary journalists from anywhere in the world may apply if they have at least one year of professional experience working in news media; internships do not count, and both staff and freelance journalists are eligible. Applicants need excellent written and verbal English skills and must show interest from an editor or a proven publication record in prominent media outlets. Applications are accepted from individual journalists, who may budget for a reporting partner.
