New Knight Foundation Report: Collaboration and Connection: How Foundations Partner Effectively to Address Their Community's Information Needs

From the Introduction to the Report:

"Addressing a community’s information needs is a critical aspect of supporting a vibrant and healthy democracy. As community and place-based foundations increase their participation in this work, they realize they cannot do it alone. Partnerships are vital to their success, whether they are developing online platforms for community dialogue, financing new online professional news outlets, or otherwise providing venues for community engagement about important issues affecting residents’ lives.

Across more than 70 individual projects in communities throughout North America, Knight Community Information Challenge grantees have collectively partnered with more than 450 organizations, including mainstream and public media organizations, community nonprofits, other foundations, universities, corporations, local government agencies and libraries to address their community’s information needs. Partnerships are allowing foundations to leverage shared resources and maximize their potential for success. The figure below depicts the types of organizations foundations are partnering with to design and implement their local news and information projects."
