This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/pulitzer-center-data-journalism-grants
Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] Three links to published data stories, visualisations or infographics by you or your team, plus a CV and three professional references
[ ] You are a freelance or staff journalist, or a group of newsrooms, with a data project and a plan to publish it

2. WHAT TO GET READY
[ ] CV or resume (One or two pages. No CV yet? Our CV starter builds a plain one from your answers.)
[ ] References: three (Ask your referees now and send them the listing. Give them time.)
[ ] Portfolio or work samples (A few of your best pieces, with a line on what you did in each.)
[ ] Essay, statement or proposal (Answer the question they ask, in your own words, with real examples.)
It also names something beyond these; read their words below.
In their words: "Project description, methodology, budget, three work samples, three references, CV"

3. DATES
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
