How to reach a fruitful match (in cooperation with the Journalism Funders Forum)

This panel gives a look behind the scenes of donors supporting journalism: What are they looking for, what is their motivation and what do journalists need to understand about a donor to fulfil their part of a good matchmaking process. Three successful matches are presented on this panel: Stephanie Reuter from German Augstein Foundation will speak with Elisa Simantke from Investigate Europe; Merel Borger from the Adessium foundation will share her thoughts on how to reach a fruitful match and two Adessium grantees - the Euobserver.com and the European Investigative Collaborations – will explain their side of the matchmaking process.
