Knight Cities Challenge $5M Grant Ideation Workshop for Neighborhood Leaders

October 20, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

The City of Charlotte’s Neighborhood & Business Services department (NBS) will host an ideation session to help neighborhood leaders identify and develop ideas for possible submission to the Knight Cities Challenge. The Knight Foundation’s Knight Cities Challenge seeks to support new ideas that attract talent, expand economic opportunity, and/or create a culture of civic engagement in Charlotte and the other 25 cities where Knight invests. Grants may be awarded at the city, neighborhood or block level from an available pool of $5 million.

Workshop participants will learn about the Knight Cities Challenge grant opportunity, including how to apply. Past examples of successful Challenge winners will be presented to inspire leaders to think outside the box to impact change. Participants will be responsible for their own grant applications; information about complementary grant programs will also be available.
