Whether you bring capital, mandate, time or expertise, there is a way in that does not waste anyone's month. Pick the one that matches what you have to offer.
Honorary membership
Over 700 journalists, photographers, engineers, academics and publishers already contribute judgement and expertise to EVE's programmes without a salary. Membership is honorary and unpaid — it is a standing invitation to be called on for what you are genuinely good at.
Institutional partnership
EVE partners with missions, ministries, universities, foundations, clubs, media outlets and companies who share a stated mandate. Partners are named publicly, and their contribution — in kind or in cash — is disclosed plainly.
Diplomatic missions
Cultural and public diplomacy programming, joint convenings, expert exchange.
Universities
Curriculum partnerships, faculty exchange, credentialed learning tracks.
Foundations
Programme co-design, grant-making, shared monitoring and evaluation.
Companies
Hiring pipelines, in-kind services, sponsorship with public reporting.
Funding & investment
Grants, sponsorship and mission-aligned investment — with full financial transparency, a dedicated account for restricted funds, and independent reporting.
Dedicated accounting
Restricted funds sit in a dedicated account, separated from general operations, with professional bookkeeping across every reporting cycle.
External verification
An external evaluator with no stake in the results re-tests programme outcomes at defined milestones and reports independently.
Open reporting
Quarterly reporting to funding partners, and disaggregated outcome data released as open data wherever the programme allows it.
Three ways to fund
Institutional grants and foundation funding · corporate sponsorship with named recognition · mission-aligned investment in a specific programme line. Tell us your constraints and we will scope a proposal that fits them.
Mentor & faculty
University faculty, working specialists and creative practitioners lend expertise to English HUB, verification bootcamps, digital-security clinics and mentorship tracks reachable inside the platform — live, one evening at a time, or as a structured course.
Common questions
No. It is a standing, unpaid invitation to contribute expertise and judgement to programmes you believe in. Some programme roles that require sustained daily time — such as contracted engineering — are paid separately and are not "membership."
Yes. EVE already works with diplomatic missions, international agencies and foreign foundations. Every partnership is disclosed publicly, with its contribution stated plainly.
Restricted funds sit in a dedicated account separated from general operations, with professional bookkeeping and, for larger awards, an external verifier reporting independently at defined milestones.
No. Several contributors — including the two Americans mentoring the Documentary Fellowship — work with EVE from outside Iraq, travelling in-person when a programme requires it and remotely otherwise.
Typically within two business days, in English, Arabic or Kurdish.
