International Fund for Public Interest Media is a global organization dedicated to supporting independent journalism that serves democratic societies. The International Fund aims to address the collapse of traditional media business models, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, by providing financial resources to independent public interest media. Co-chaired by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa and former New York Times CEO Mark Thompson, the Fund garners support from international leaders and allocates grants to media organizations across key regions including Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. One of its main goals is to bolster economic resilience, foster innovation, and create sustainable media ecosystems that are inclusive and healthy. The headquarters is based in Paris, with substantial financial backing from global governments, corporates, and philanthropic donors.
