All funded organisations (or in the case of a consortium, the ‘lead applicant’ as a minimum) will participate in the Accelerator in a cohort, which includes full commitment to the mentorship and coaching activities, as well as the funding.    The EJC knows from our years of experience of running these types of programmes that organisations and journalists benefit more significantly from grant funding, and for longer term, when they have access to bespoke mentoring and coaching alongside the funding.
