Duluth Citizen Community

Dear Citizens,

Can you help improve our grant application?

We’re submitting two items to the Knight Foundation:

1.) A standard text document explaining the project and the people behind it. We want to include your thoughts, hopes and vision for the project as well. Simply complete the text form below.

2.) A video pitch. Most applicants would include the board members or founder. We want to be different.

In addition to videos from the founder and some of the staff (similar to Tom’s video here on the site) we want to incorporate your videos as well. They don’t have to be serious or even related to journalism. For example: you might like gardening and appreciate that the Citizen provides a free and local online forum for your group or blog.

Simply complete the form below or record a video (30 second maximum). Upload it to YouTube and send the link to jnelson@duluthcitizen.org or include it in the text area below and submit.

If you’re not good with editing feel free to email Jacob and arrange a time to stop by the office where we will transfer the video.

This attempt to engage the community in the founding of a news project is extremely rare. If effective it will be powerful and a huge advantage over other applicants.

Thanks for your time and support.
