About this grant

Circle of Blue is an online magazine highlighting water issues around the world. The grantee’s staff includes experienced and award-winning reporters who cover drinking water, climate impacts and other critical issues threatening the Great Lakes.

With renewed support, the grantee will continue to support and lead the collaborative with in-depth reporting and photojournalism, cultivate the next generation of reporters through internships and heighten public awareness concerning Great Lakes water issues.
