    The VII Foundation

    The VII Foundation is committed to in-depth journalism covering the crucial issues of our time. In a world where beliefs and actions are increasingly out of sync with facts and realities, our response is to document the truth to enable communities worldwide to make evidence-based choices about the challenges impacting their lives.

    The foundation does this by empowering new voices through education, especially from under-resourced regions where press freedom is limited and journalists are vulnerable. It trains practitioners to cover their local communities and global problems and produces large-scale and long-term documentary projects that advocate change and detail solutions. It brings new and neglected perspectives to the public agenda and hosts conversations campaigning for a diverse, safe, and viable profession, especially for freelancers worldwide.
