The Logan Nonfiction Program is thrilled to announce a generous $1 million grant aimed at enhancing the program’s mission to support investigative journalism and documentary filmmaking. This funding will further empower the program to provide unparalleled opportunities for writers, filmmakers, photojournalists, and multimedia creators who are working on impactful long-form nonfiction projects.
The grant, provided by the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation, will allow the program to expand its capacity, offer more fellowships, and provide additional resources to nonfiction creators who are addressing critical global issues through their work. This investment in investigative journalism is designed to help uncover untold stories, shine a light on inequality, and bring attention to the most pressing matters facing society today.
“This transformative gift is a significant step forward in enabling the Logan Nonfiction Program to continue its vital work of fostering courageous and impactful journalism,” said Joshua Friedman, a founding trustee of the Logan Nonfiction Program. “With this grant, we will be able to provide more support to fellows, expand the reach of their projects, and continue our commitment to empowering creators to tackle the world’s most important stories.”
Since its inception, the Logan Nonfiction Program has been dedicated to providing nonfiction writers, filmmakers, and multimedia creators with the time, space, and mentorship to produce groundbreaking work. The program offers fellows a unique opportunity to work on long-form investigative articles, books, documentaries, and multimedia projects, all while receiving guidance from leading experts in their fields.
In addition to expanding fellowship opportunities, the grant will fund virtual and in-person programming, including workshops, panels, and peer-to-peer networking events, designed to foster collaboration and ensure fellows have the support they need to complete their projects.
The Jonathan Logan Family Foundation’s commitment to investigative journalism and documentary filmmaking is a key driver behind this investment, which will help ensure that important stories continue to be told and shared with the public. The Logan Nonfiction Program has long been recognized for its ability to support exceptional nonfiction creators, many of whom have gone on to produce award-winning work that addresses the most critical issues of our time.
