Versacare Journalism for Adventist Solutions (JAS) Grants

Individual award: $2,500 to $10,000 per qualifying in-depth journalism project; the foundation reports a total annual JAS fund of up to $60,000. Do not confuse that annual pool with the individual applicant award.

Timing: The funder states applications are accepted year-round, with funding decisions in March and September. Its published August 31, 2026 deadline applied to the September 2026 cycle and has expired; the next future round’s precise cutoff is not officially published. The open rolling opportunity can be pursued without claiming an invented new deadline.

Eligible applicants: Qualified 501(c)(3) organizations headquartered in North America, including Seventh-day Adventist publications, SDA universities or academies and independent organizations reporting on issues affecting the Seventh-day Adventist church. This special journalism track has its own applicant conditions and is not open to individual reporters without an eligible organization.

Projects: Solutions-oriented, rigorously researched in-depth journalism advancing ethical reporting, diverse viewpoints, journalistic excellence and constructive reporting within Adventist media. Long-form written, audio, video or mixed-media reporting is possible. Proposals should identify the intended publishing venue and timing, reporting methods and relevant perspectives.

Eligible costs: Background research, interviews, fact-checking, editing, reporting, production, publication/distribution, writer or editor or photographer stipends and essential travel. Unrelated project expenses require funder discussion. Universal matching funds and reimbursement conditions are not stated in the public journalism guidance.

Required process: Begin at the official application page and supply the organizational and project information requested by Versacare. Funded projects require a post-project narrative, full expenditure accounting and supporting documentation or audit cooperation upon request. The downstream applicant-specific portal is gated after the introductory eligibility step.
