Full-time, part-time or freelance female media professionals based in the U.S. can apply for a grant.

The International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF) will award three US$20,000 grants to entrepreneurial women journalists proposing to use digital media in new ways to deliver the news.

In addition to seed funding, grantees will receive coaching and will participate in a monthly call series featuring leading entrepreneurs and digital news media experts.

A successful applicant will pitch an innovative digital news media enterprise with a well conceived plan for sustainability after initial funding has ended, clearly demonstrating how her proposed enterprise advances women in the field of news media.

Funding is available for start-ups only. Personal blogs and documentary projects will not be considered.

The deadline has been extended to March 8.
