Knight Foundation grants 22 innovation media projects
Knight Foundation awarded $35,000 to 22 projects that represent a range of ideas from government, the media, nonprofits, universities and libraries.
Knight Foundation announced the 22 project recipients of support from the Knight Prototype Fund. Awarded with $35,000, the Prototype Fund serves as tool for funding early-stage media and information projects. The program invites applicants to experiment and innovate in media and information projects before moving on to the more costly stage of building a project.
The 22 projects represent a range of ideas from government, the media, nonprofits, universities or libraries. All of them will join a network of innovators seeking to provide better ways to inform and engage communities with information. To check out the full list, please visit its website.
On the other hand, Knight Prototype Fund is still looking for new projects. If you are part of U.S.-based organizations with projects that explore media, journalism, civic experience, and data and information needs, the open call for ideas closes Aug. 17.
