The Fix Foundation has launched applications to support Ukrainian Media by providing equipment to small regional publications operating directly from Ukraine.

Support is provided within the framework of “Voices of Ukraine”, a programme by ECPMF, which is implemented in collaboration with The Fix Media Foundation. The Programme is part of the Hannah-Arendt Initiative and is funded by the German Federal Foreign Office.

The goal of the project is to provide material support to Ukrainian media that continue working in Ukraine. The project is limited to equipment purchase. This will enable continuous and undisrupted work of Ukrainian journalists given the life-threatening conditions.

Project Priorities

• Frontline media: Providing them with the equipment crucial to empower their work of covering the frontline stories.
• Hyperlocal media: Media that work directly with local communities and cover issues important to specific regions. For example, equipment for projects to launch or improve the existing mobile journalism (MOJO) department. Or aim to create new content formats, such as video reports, interactive materials, and other new types of media products.

Funding Information

The approximate amount of support is €1600 per journalist, which will correspond to the equivalent in hryvnia at the current exchange rate (although exceptions may be made in the case of distributing expensive but important equipment to several employees who will use it jointly). The amount of support is limited to €10,000 per outlet.
