Knight Cities Challenge

Posted by Knight Foundation on September 14, 2015

Knight Foundation is excited to announce that the Knight Cities Challenge will open for ideas on Oct. 1. The challenge seeks ideas that make the 26 communities where Knight invests more vibrant places to live and work. Applicants can win a share of $5 million for innovative projects that answer the question: What’s your best idea to make cities more successful?

It will launch on October 1, with applications being accepted until October 27. Ideas should focus on one or all of three key drivers of city success: attracting and keeping talent, expanding economic opportunity, and creating a culture of civic engagement.

If you have questions about the challenge, you can join us for virtual office hours or in-person events to learn more. The schedule, which is regularly updated, can be accessed here.
