			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Publlishing hyperlocal information? Getting some grant money for it now from a local foundation? Or running a local foundation that&#8217;s interested in doing more to improve the flow of information, especially as traditional media suffer 1,000 cuts?</p>
<p>Here’s a chance to double down – and also gain access to significant training, guidance and knowledge.</p>
<p><a href="http://tgdavidson.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/KF-Logo.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-150" title="Knight Foundation logo" src="http://tgdavidson.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/KF-Logo-300x106.gif" alt="Image: Knight Foundation logo" width="300" height="106" /></a>The <a href="http://knightfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Knight Foundation</a>, which is probably doing more to help journalism through this tumultuous period than any traditional media company, is coming up on the deadline for another round of its <a href="http://www.informationneeds.org/community-information-challenge " target="_blank">Knight Community Information Challenge</a>. Note that this program is separate from the <a href="http://www.newschallenge.org/" target="_self">Knight News Challenge</a>, which is about funding innovative ideas.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.informationneeds.org/community-information-challenge/faq-for-place-based-foundations" target="_blank">FAQs</a> are make clear the requirements. An added benefit (besides the dough): Registration is still open for the introductory <a href="http://www.informationneeds.org/media-learning-seminar">Media Learning Seminar</a> in Miami March 1-2. (If you go, and have never seen <a href="http://twitter.com/webbmedia">Amy Webb</a> do her thing: Try not to let your jaw hurt anyone on its way to the floor.)</p>
<p>Moreover, there’s a chance to get answers to any questions you have about the program. The fine folks at the <a href="http://www.knightdigitalmediacenter.org/">Knight Digital Media Center</a> at USC and Cal-Berkeley are hosting a web-based <a href="http://www.knightdigitalmediacenter.org/news_blog/comments/20100210_live_qa_on_knight_community_information_challenge_feb_16_26/">Q&amp;A on Feb. 26</a>.</p>
<p>Journopreneurs: This <em>can </em>be a terrific start to your hyperlocal site &#8211; <em>if </em>you can partner quickly with a community foundation willing to match any Knight Foundation funds. But before you get all giddy, think about sustainability! If you get this money, what are you going to do make sure you can generate <em>real </em>money at the end of the grant? (Hint: &#8220;Apply for another grant&#8221; is <em>not </em>an acceptable answer.)<a href="http://tgdavidson.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/KF-Logo.gif"></a></p>
