We've been big fans of the Knight Foundation for all that it's doing to not only promote but fiscally support innovators who are using media to change the world for the better - and now there's another reason to admire them:

They're supporting the Drupal Open Source Initiative with funding for projects that support communities through digital publishing. Here's more from them:

Knight Foundation is working with the Drupal community on the Knight Drupal Initiative with the following goals in mind:

• To enable more people to enter the digital conversation by lowering the technical barriers to entry.
• To provide powerful tools for digital publication, free and open to all.
• To encourage people to improve their communities by supporting the free exchange of information and ideas.

 

The grant opportunity is open to the public, proposals will be voted on by the Drupal community, and anyone is welcome to register in the Drupal Community and submit a proposal.

OK you tech-savvy and socially-conscientious NTEN community, get out there and submit your Drupal-Community proposals!
