SUMMARY:Deadline: Open call for media pluralism\, press freedom and information integrity projects (EEA & Norway Grants — Civil Society Fund Greece (led by the Bodossaki Foundation\, in consortium with SolidarityNow))
DESCRIPTION:A EUR 800\,000 EEA Civil Society Fund Greece call for civil society organisations running projects that strengthen media pluralism\, protect press freedom and promote information integrity\, addressing media independence\, disinformation\, public accountability and public trust in media and institutions. The fund encourages cooperation with partner entities from Iceland\, Liechtenstein and Norway. Deadline: 2026-12-15. Amount: Total call budget EUR 800\,000. Fund operator (Bodossaki Foundation/SolidarityNow) launched the fund's first call cycle around 16 September 2026.. Who can apply: organisation. Journalism angle: The call's own stated focus explicitly names 'media pluralism\, press freedom\, and information integrity' plus 'media independence' and 'public trust in media' among funded themes\, so a Greek newsroom or media-freedom NGO could apply directly under this named priority for a press-freedom monitoring\, media-pluralism or fact-checking project\, not an inferred fit.

SUMMARY:Deadline: Threat & Opportunity Response Fund (ILGA-Europe)
DESCRIPTION:Rapid-response grants for LGBTI organisations in Europe and Central Asia to respond to sudden\, time-sensitive political\, legal or social developments — either an emerging threat or a narrow window of opportunity — including crisis and strategic communications work alongside advocacy and mobilisation. Deadline: 2027-08-01. Amount: up to 10000 EUR. Who can apply: organisation. Journalism angle: The fund explicitly covers 'crisis communications' and 'strategic communications' for LGBTI organisations responding to a sudden threat or opportunity. An LGBTI-focused media outlet\, or an independent newsroom producing rapid-response coverage or public communications around an anti-LGBTI crisis such as a sudden legislative attack\, would fit this communications-response activity — provided it applies as a registered LGBTI organisation or collective rather than as an individual freelancer.

SUMMARY:Deadline: CERV-2026-DAPHNE: Call for proposals to prevent and combat gender-based violence and violence against children (European Commission (CERV Programme — Daphne strand\, DG Justice and Consumers))
DESCRIPTION:An EU CERV (Citizens\, Equality\, Rights and Values) programme call\, flagged on the eu-mogucnosti aggregator's homepage\, funding organisations working to prevent and combat gender-based violence\, domestic violence and violence against children. One of the call's stated priorities is prevention through awareness-raising and changing social attitudes\, alongside separate priorities for victim protection/support and public-authority support for implementing EU/Istanbul Convention obligations. Deadline: 2026-11-03. Amount: Indicative total call budget approx. EUR 21\,000\,000 across all Daphne priorities combined (not broken down per project or per priority)\; co-financing rate up to 90%. Budget figure from a secondary call-fiche mirror (euro-access.eu)\, not the Commission's own call page.. Who can apply: organisation. Journalism angle: The call's Prevention priority (DAPHNE-PREVENTION) is described in its own call fiche as covering 'awareness raising activities' and work on 'changing social attitudes and behaviour to end tolerance of violence' — so a newsroom or civil-society media outlet producing public-awareness journalism or documentation on gender-based-violence prevention sits under this named priority rather than an invented fit. Applicants must be non-profit legal entities established in an eligible country\; the eu-mogucnosti aggregator promotes the call to Serbian civil society but does not itself confirm Serbian organisations' eligibility under CERV\, which is not established here.

SUMMARY:Deadline: Direct Aid Program (DAP) 2026-27 — Equatorial Guinea (Australian Embassy Madrid (Direct Aid Program))
DESCRIPTION:Australia's small-grants aid programme\, administered by the Australian Embassy in Madrid on behalf of Equatorial Guinea\, funds small-scale development and community projects there. Today's DAP portal snapshot shows the 2026-27 round's submissions closing 27 October 2026. Deadline: 2026-10-27. Amount: Figure of EUR 12\,000 'for this financial year' comes from an undated section of the embassy's own DAP page (found via WebSearch)\, not confirmed as applying specifically to the 2026-27 round.. Who can apply: organisation. Journalism angle: The Australian Embassy Madrid's own DAP page for Equatorial Guinea lists 'human rights' among its named priority sectors (alongside gender equality\, climate sustainability and environmental protection\, health\, education and sanitation\, and poverty alleviation)\, so a documentation or public-reporting project on human-rights conditions in Equatorial Guinea sits under a stated priority rather than an inferred one. Funding is limited to community groups\, NGOs\, private institutions and other non-profits with legal status\; individuals\, government agencies and for-profit organisations are explicitly excluded\, so an outlet would need to apply as\, or in partnership with\, such an entity.

DESCRIPTION:The Australian Consulate-General in Surabaya is running its 2026-27 Direct Aid Program round\, a small-grants scheme for community development projects in its East Java/eastern Indonesia consular district\, submitted via SmartyGrants. The round closes 1 November 2026. The prior (2025-26) round's priority areas were gender equality\, disability and social inclusion\, education\, health/water/sanitation\, disaster response and environmental protection\; the 2026-27 priority list was not independently confirmed. Deadline: 2026-11-01. Amount: 2025-26 round guidance cited grants up to AUD 20\,000 and a 12-month completion window\; the 2026-27 ceiling was not confirmed.. Who can apply: organisation. Journalism angle: The Surabaya DAP's recurring priority list names education and social-inclusion themes (gender\, disability) alongside health and disaster response\; a media or community organisation producing public-education or awareness content on these social-inclusion/education priorities is a plausible fit\, though the post's own 2026-27 guidelines text was not independently read.
