Still time to apply for the Green Line Challenge

The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is promoting its Knight Green Line Challenge, seeking projects to make St. Paul neighborhoods along the new Green Line more vibrant places to live, work, play and visit. The challenge is part of a three-year, $1.5 million commitment from Knight Foundation to further advance community development in St. Paul’s Central Corridor.

The challenge will accept applications through July 24. The Saint Paul Foundation will administer the challenge.

Any individual, business or nonprofit can apply. The only requirement is that the project must take place in and benefit

at least one of six St. Paul

neighborhoods along the Green Line: Downtown St. Paul, Frogtown/Thomas-Dale, Hamline Midway, St. Anthony Park, Summit-University or Union Park.

The Knight Green Line Challenge is Knight Foundation’s newest effort to invest in the success of St. Paul. The Green Line Challenge builds on Knight’s role in co-founding the Central Corridor Funders Collaborative, an initiative that brings together diverse groups across sectors to build opportunity and benefit communities along the new light rail line.
