Thank you for your interest in Velocidad.


The deadline for the first round has passed and we are no longer accepting applications.

We have received hundreds of applications from more than 20 countries and we are honored many great journalists and media founders who are doing the kind of work that we want to support.

We care about every application. Now our real work begins, as we embark on the challenging task of narrowing the pool of applicants to 75 finalists.

Stay tuned to find out if your favorite media projects make the Velocidad Finalists List!

In the meantime, you can learn more about how to build more sustainable media organizations in SembraMedia’s online school, and find more opportunities for grants and scholarships in SembraMedia’s resources section. We also recommend you visit ICFJ’s IJNet website and subscribe to the IJNet newsletter to stay informed about other opportunities for journalists. 

Velocidad was made possible by a partnership between SembraMedia and the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), with support from Luminate.
