The 2011 Knight Community Information Challenge Winners

The Knight Community Information Challenge is open to all community foundations in North America. It is also open to geographically-oriented foundations that have a place-based focus similar to a community foundation.

That’s because place-based foundations are in the best position to meet the core needs of their communities, including critical news and information needs.

The Knight Community Information Challenge engages community and place-based foundations in playing leading roles in meeting the information needs of their communities.

If your foundation is set up to meet these core needs, you are welcome to apply.

Previous winners have come from all over the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska, and Winnipeg was our first Canadian winner last year.

The 2012 contest will accept applications until Feb. 27, 2012.
