Knight Community Information Challenge Calls on Community Foundations for Local News and Information Experiments
Deadline: March 7, 2011
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is accepting applications from community and place-based foundations seeking to fund news and information projects.
The Community Information Challenge contest is designed to encourage foundations to find creative ways to fund media projects that inform and engage local residents. The challenge also offers a unique opportunity for foundations to increase their leadership and visibility. The challenge, which has so far awarded a total of $14 million for sixty-six projects, is part of Knight’s Media Innovation Initiative.
The challenge has three requirements: applicants must be North American community or place-based foundations (though community partners are welcome); projects have to meet a local information need; and foundations must match Knight Foundation’s investment.
Knight Foundation staff will host an online chat for potential applicants on February 10, 2011.
Compete program information, application, and online chat details are available at the Community Information Needs program Web site.
