- Not able to carry out proper due diligence with potential partners and ending up in a partnership with an organisation that does not share your vision and working practices
- Committing to working with individuals who don’t fit into your organisational culture and have unreasonable financial expectations
- Lacking the time to properly research your methodology and approach, leading to inconsistencies or activities which later prove challenging to deliver

FUNDER AND SUPPORTER PROFILES
|
|
|
This edition's funder profiles focus on two funders that support climate reporting - the Skoll Foundation and the Pulitzer Centre.
|
|
The Skoll Foundation gives grants to social entrepreneurs – change makers who use innovative approaches to address difficult social problems. The Foundation’s work is organized around six priority issue areas: environmental sustainability, education, economic opportunity, health, peace and human rights, and sustainable markets.
The Foundation supports social innovations that advance renewable solutions, shape policies, influence private sector action, develop new narratives, and build strong support for climate action around the world. These social innovations mitigate climate change and advance climate justice in partnership with the hardest hit communities. Learn more about the Skoll Foundation’s Climate Action programme here.

The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting is an American news media organisation established in 2006 that sponsors independent reporting on global issues that other media outlets are less willing or able to undertake on their own. The Pulitzer Center's goal is to raise the standard of coverage of international systemic crises, and to do so in a way that engages both the broad public and government policymakers.
The Pulitzer Center hosts the Rainforest Journalism Fund (RJF), a major investment in international environmental and climate reporting. The RJF is supporting nearly 200 original reporting projects over a five year period, along with annual regional conferences designed to raise the level of reporting on global tropical rainforest issues like deforestation and climate change–leading to stories that make a difference. The RJF supports and builds capacity for local and regional reporters based in the Amazon Basin, Congo Basin, and Southeast Asia, as well as journalists bringing stories to global audiences.
