Our Programs

The media is not truly free and representative without the equal voice of women.

Through our programs and grants we empower women and nonbinary journalists with the training, opportunities, and support to become leaders in the news industry. The IWMF offers journalists a wide range of opportunities to grow as media professionals, gain reporting experience, publish projects, and be recognized for remarkable work.
