Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Missouri Journalists Investigating Threats to Democratic Institutions in the United States ## Target Outcomes The Missouri journalist grantees under this program are expected to produce high-quality investigative stories that shed light on threats to democratic institutions in the United States. The primary target outcomes for these projects include in-depth investigative reporting on systemic issues, such as voter suppression, gerrymandering, and corruption. These stories should hold powerful local figures accountable and provide data-driven insights to the public. Missouri's unique geographic location, with its mix of urban and rural areas, makes it an ideal testing ground for examining the impact of these issues on different communities. The Missouri Ethics Commission is one state agency that may be relevant to this grant, as it oversees campaign finance and ethics laws. ## Key Performance Indicators To measure the success of these projects, grantees will be expected to track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as the number of stories published, the reach and engagement of their reporting, and the impact on policy or public discourse. The state's rural counties, such as those in the Missouri Ozarks, present a distinct demographic feature that can be leveraged to explore the challenges faced by rural communities in exercising their democratic rights. In addition to producing high-quality journalism, grantees will be expected to engage with the public and promote their work through various channels, including social media and community events. By focusing on these target outcomes and KPIs, Missouri journalists can help to strengthen democratic institutions and promote a more informed public discourse. ## Outcome-Based Evaluation The evaluation of these projects will be based on their impact on the target outcomes, as well as their overall quality and effectiveness. The funder, a Banking Institution, will assess the grantees' ability to produce high-quality investigative reporting, their engagement with the public, and the reach and impact of their stories. Grantees will be required to submit regular reports and data on their KPIs to facilitate this evaluation. By prioritizing outcome-based evaluation, the funder aims to support journalism that makes a tangible difference in Missouri and beyond. As the state continues to face challenges related to voting rights and government accountability, this grant program can help to support the critical work of journalists in holding those in power accountable. With the Missouri arts council grants also available for arts and culture projects, this funding can be seen as complementary to existing state resources. Q: What types of projects are eligible for funding under this grant program in Missouri? A: Projects that focus on investigative reporting on threats to democratic institutions, such as voter suppression and corruption, are eligible for funding. Q: How will the success of grantees be measured in Missouri? A: The success of grantees will be measured based on key performance indicators such as the number of stories published, reach and engagement, and impact on policy or public discourse. Q: Are there any specific resources available to grantees in rural Missouri? A: Yes, grantees working in rural Missouri may be able to access resources and support from organizations that serve rural communities, such as those providing rural Missouri grants.
