The Kari Howard Fund for Narrative Journalism 2025

The Kari Howard Fund for Narrative Journalism 2025, administered by the International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF), is a unique opportunity for women and non-binary journalists to receive financial support for storytelling that dives deeply into the rhythms, emotions, and human truths of real life. This grant honors the legacy of Kari Howard—a brilliant narrative editor known for her love of lyrical, emotionally compelling, and character-driven journalism. With individual grants of up to $5,000, the fund empowers journalists to produce narrative features that capture “the music of everyday life,” while confronting underreported, complex issues around the world.

The primary goal of the fund is to enable the production of narrative journalism that combines literary storytelling techniques with strong reporting. Funded stories should have a strong character focus, rich scenes, and a narrative arc that provides emotional resonance and deep understanding of the subject matter. The story’s power should emerge not just from the subject matter but also from how it’s told—through dialogue, conflict, vivid description, and pacing that creates momentum. This kind of storytelling—personal, immersive, detailed—demands time, skill, and resources, which this fund aims to provide.
