In its efforts to encourage robust and interactive membership practices with news organizations around the world, the Membership Puzzle Project, based at New York University, is partnering with Luminate and Democracy Fund to launch The Membership in News Fund to run through May 2020. The $700,000 fund is designed to support innovative membership models at news sites as part of a global experiment to identify and clarify best practices for supporting and sustaining independent journalism in the 21st century. Funds will be provided in different amounts based on project idea, region, and scope. More details on how to indicate your interest in applying are here.
