Knight Foundation Backs Local Information with Grants
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation will shell out $3.14 million in matching grants to 19 local foundations as part of its Knight Community Information Challenge, which is aimed at helping those groups to meet local information needs.
A recent survey by the Knight Foundation found that one-half of the local foundations that responded had invested a total of $165 million in local information.
Knight Foundation president and CEO Alberto Ibargüen said:
