John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Community Information Challenge
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation will engage community foundations in a grant-making challenge to find creative uses of media and technology to help keep communities informed and their citizens engaged. The $24 million five-year Knight Community Information Challenge is launched as the media world undergoes rapid change and acknowledges that there is less local information readily available. The challenge is premised on two strongly held beliefs: in a democracy, information is essential for a community to function properly; it is a core need, and since community foundations are established to meet core community needs, they are logical partners in meeting the information needs of communities. The Knight initiative has three parts: a grant-making program that will invite community foundations to propose ideas to meet information needs in their communities; community foundation help to develop the ability to plan and execute their ideas; and a Media Learning Seminar on February 16-17, 2009 to help community foundations learn about the information needs of communities in a democracy. The challenge is open to all community foundations. Pre-proposal due date: September 15, 2008. Final proposal due date: October 15, 2008.

Announcing incredible limited time offer!

Just imagine your youth-serving organization increasing your funding by 25% or more! How many more youth could you provide services for?

If you have been serving youth in South Florida for any length of time, you know how hard it is to make ends meet, especially in the current economic climate.

You'll find amazing new funders in the new ebook, Fifty Funders for South Florida Youth Programs, which will be released to the public via Clickbank.com on July 7, 2008.

Once it goes on ClickBank, I will raise the price. So for now, for my subscribers only, I am offering this book for a special discount price.

Why order an expensive book or service that covers funders nationwide, in all fields, when your service is local to South Florida and specific to youth?

In this book, you will find fifty funders that provide grants specifically to South Florida youth-serving organizations.

Whether your organization provides arts for youth, education for youth, mentoring for youth, human services for youth, after school programming for youth, or another youth-oriented program, you will find funders in this book for your program.

Whether your organization is small or large, in Miami-Dade, Broward, or Monroe, you will find funders in this book.

If you think you know every funder for your organization, think again! This ebook contains the most often approached as well as the little-known funders!

Save time and money by clicking on the direct link to the funder from this terrific, electronic resource. (In the case of a few of the funders, I provide the mailing address where no website exists.)

How much would you pay to find even one funder that would grant your organization $10,000 or more? How much have you paid in the past, only to find that you have to spend hours digging through foundations that are not relevant for your organization?

For a limited time only, and for my subscribers only, you can purchase this resource for the special introductory price of $24.99. That is less than 50 cents per funder. Less than 50 cents to identify funders that could grant your organization thousands of dollars!

As an added bonus, for my subscribers who order during this special pre-sale period, you will receive a specially chosen selection of the best, most useful writings to assist your non-profit in achieving success, for absolutely free! Inspirational stories to encourage you, sales-letters to use in your fundraising campaigns, optimization strategies to use to improve your organization's online image.

Pre-sale ordering is fast and easy. Simply click on the PayPal icon at right, fill in the special limited-time offer rate of $24.99, write "50 Youth Funders" in the memo, and you will receive your ebook and free bonuses at your PayPal email address by July 3rd.

Don't delay! As soon as Fifty Funders is uploaded to ClickBank, I cannot offer this special rate. The price will be going up. So order today and increase your funding!
