The Chronicle of Philanthropy is accepting applications for its Philanthropy & Nonprofit Accountability Fellowship. Every year four newsrooms join the program, which is designed to enhance coverage of local philanthropy and nonprofits. Each news organization receives $30,000 to spend on its reporting projects. 

Fellows receive training sessions with experts in philanthropy, investigative reporting, and public records throughout the year. They work closely with reporters in our newsroom, who help with sourcing, story development, and more. They will also work with and learn from editors and reporters who are part of our philanthropy partnership at the Associated Press and the Conversation and with national experts who can help them improve their journalism. 

Applications are open until February 14, 2026. Here’s more information and how to apply.
