The Knight Foundation Wants to Fund Your Big Idea
10.27.2009 // by: Blair
Fellow Chattanooga-lovers and community activists:
Do you have an idea to make your community a better place? Do you dream of a neighborhood or city connected by information and education? Do you think your idea would work only if you had the appropriate funding?
We may have found just the thing for you. While researching best practices around the globe, Stand team members were happy to stumble across the Knight Foundation. Along with providing financial support to place-based foundations, this program funds local news and information projects that seek to help residents to become better informed and engaged in their communities.
As the Knight Foundation looks to fund projects that will help fill community information needs, as well as creating an environment that is full of engaged and educated citizens, Stand asks residents of the Chattanooga region: why can’t it be you? If you have an idea to make Chattanooga a better source of information for its citizens, apply.
Stand would love to see someone in our community find a creative way to use new media and technology to keep residents informed and engaged. In order to build a better tomorrow, we all must do work today. Have fun, get inspired and see what you can create when there are no financial barriers.
