MDIF funders and impact investors
Strength through diversity
Our work is supported by a broad spectrum of around 70 foundations, impact investors, development agencies and individuals who share our commitment to free media. Drawing on a robust funding mix, we stand proudly as an independent organization driven forward by our own principles and values. We are strong advocates for blended finance and we champion a third way of media financing that bridges the gap between grants and commercial capital.
MDIF is committed to transparency and sustainability. Read our Funding Policy and SFDR Compliance Statement.
