Grants
Any individual or U.S.-based organization may apply for a grant. (Prior to 2010, an organization must have been a registered section 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.) The process of asking for a grant begins with a letter of inquiry describing the project concept. In addition to the foundation's regular granting program, there are three contests (calls for entries): The Knight News Challenge; The Knight Arts Challenge; and the Knight Community Information Challenge. In 2011 the Foundation added a fourth contest, the Black Male Engagement Challenge.

Famous quotes containing the word grants:
“... liberty is the one thing no man can have unless he grants it to others.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“Our religion ... is itself profoundly sad—a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man’s own language—so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“The ability to secure an independent livelihood and honorable employ suited to her education and capacities is the only true foundation of the social elevation of woman, even in the very highest classes of society. While she continues to be educated only to be somebody’s wife, and is left without any aim in life till that somebody either in love, or in pity, or in selfish regard at last grants her the opportunity, she can never be truly independent.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
