The C-JAM fund isn't just an equipment grant, but an opportunity to receive the support, training, and knowledge to engage youth in deeper and more thoughtful practices in media arts and journalism.
Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC), is pleased to announce the 2012 Chicago Journalism, Art and Media (C-JAM) Educator Equipment Fund.

Educators will receive equipment packages as well as professional development and training to support their efforts. Potential applicants are educators who currently incorporate media production in their classrooms or in their youth programs or are highly motivated to get started.
More information about C-JAM, the Fund, and the Equipment Packages can be found in the attached flyer (PDF) or by visiting http://cjam.edc.org/.

It's OK to Fail
Tuesday, February 10, 2009
Susan King of Carnegie Corp. provides some refreshing insight from a media funder on when grants fail in a recent Carnegie quarterly newsletter . Her article, "Media Grantmaking Strategies: When the Impact is in Question," analyzes a grant she ushered in early in her tenure at Carnegie to improve coverage of Carnegie-funded initiatives in national media.The piece looks at the Foundation's goals, the nonprofit's goals and operating environments under which the grant was made. Ultimately, Carnegie's justification for investing wasn't realized. But the funder still learned a valuable lesson about making grants.

Future of Information
Monday, November 17, 2008
The Knight Foundation is putting its money where your mouth is. The Miami-based foundation just launched a new community site called Knight Pulse. This site - www.KnightPulse.org - will be a place where interested people can talk about the future of information and other pressing topics facing the evolution of journalism and media.And it's not just lip service. Knight Pulse "is a place for conversations that might later become collaborative projects considered for funding," according to Knight. With more than $25 million earmarked for community news and social media experiments in the next five years, it's a chance for all those innovators to join the funding fray.
