Civic Networking Grants available

CPB Civic Networking Grants:
Opportunities for Community Enhancement through Technology

This fall, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting will award grants to civic networking groups and other organizations that demonstrate the ability and interest in developing online content, services and public outreach activities for their communities. Grant recipients will be expected to team up with local libraries, public broadcasters, schools, and other community institutions in the hopes of consolidating their strengths and creating a local character to their services.

CPB expects to fund up to six projects, with funding typically ranging from $40,000 to $80,000 per project. Only organizations within the U.S. may apply for these grants.
