Overview

The International Fund for Public Interest Media (the “International Fund”) is seeking to establish a roster of strategic and creative freelance graphic designers to support its communications, fundraising, and programmatic work.

The ideal candidates will bring strong visual design skills, experience working with mission-driven organizations, and the ability to translate complex ideas into clear, compelling visual materials. Designers selected for the roster will be engaged on a project-by-project basis as needs arise. The International Fund is publicly funded, and as such the value proposition of designers applying to this roster will be a strong consideration. 

About the International Fund for Public Interest Media

The International Fund is the world’s only multilateral mechanism responding to the existential threats facing public interest media in low- and middle-income countries. The International Fund is designed to pool resources and expertise to boost the economic resilience of media organizations. The International Fund’s grants provide direct core funding to journalism media outlets in need and help develop long-term sustainable media markets, including through experimentation with national funds and new regulatory approaches. The International Fund complements existing efforts in the media development sector, catalyzing new money as a globally coordinated but fully independent vehicle. With its headquarters in Paris, the International Fund’s regional teams are based in Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. 

The Role

Graphic designers on the roster will play a key role in supporting the International Fund’s visual communications and public profile. Designers will work closely with the Communications team to ensure visual consistency, clarity, and quality across a range of outputs.

• Template development: support in development of social media templates and assets for use in Canva
