Here's how you can help SEJ
support journalists like Glory:
Give to SEJ Programs to support essential training, resources and convening, such as:
- Annual Conference events like “Beyond Climate Change: Reporting on the Global Polycrisis, Its Roots and Solutions” and “Crafting Impactful Environmental Narratives: Leveraging Communication Science, Visuals and Technology in Storytelling”
- SEJournal resources like “How Climate Change Complicates the Refugee Crisis”
Give to SEJ's Fund for Environmental Journalism to support small story grants, such as:
- "Africa’s Conservation Conundrum," bioGraphic, May 15, 2023, by Rachel Nuwer
- "Montana to Zambia: Connections Through Conservation," Missoulian, August 22, 2016, by Keila Szpaller
Give to SEJ's Conference Travel Stipends to help cover the costs of registration, travel, lodging and other expenses for #SEJ2025 attendees who would not be able to come to the conference without this support. Here's what past participants had to say:
- “Since my newsroom does not cover costs for going to a conference, I would not have been able to attend without the fellowship. I'm really grateful to Uproot and SEJ for keeping this fellowship happening; so many people I spoke to were in the same boat as me, attending SEJ on a fellowship because they would not have been able to go otherwise. As newsrooms struggle across the country and these budgets for conferences are frequently cut, I really see it as one of the most important offerings that SEJ has.”
- “I couldn't have attended the conference without it. I've been wanting to go to this conference for several years and didn't have the opportunity until this year. I think that these fellowships will help diversify conference goers and include more young reporters at smaller outlets.”
