Knight News Challenge on Elections

Posted by Knight Foundation on March 16, 2015

The Knight News Challenge on Elections is now open for applications, asking people to submit ideas that address the question: How might we better inform voters and increase civic participation before, during and after elections? A collaboration between Knight, the Democracy Fund, the Hewlett Foundation and the Rita Allen Foundation, the challenge is offering more than $3 million for innovative ideas.

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