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

There are three simple rules for this contest: Applicants must be U.S. community or place-based foundations (though community partners are welcome); projects have to meet a local information need; and foundations must match Knight's investment.
