IWMF 2023 Kim Wall Memorial Fund

Published: 23 Nov 2022

The IWMF’s Kim Wall Memorial Fund will provide grants to journalists whose work embodies the spirit of Kim’s reporting.

The grant will fund women or non-binary reporters covering subculture, broadly defined, and what Kim liked to call “the undercurrents of rebellion.” Kim wanted more women to be out in the world, brushing up against life, and the Kim Wall Memorial Fund honors this legacy.
