Sunlight Foundation Awards Grants to MAPLight.org, Center for Independent Media and OMB Watch
Last week the Sunlight Foundation announced the three recipients of its 3rd round of "transparency grants" in 2007. The grants were given to projects that, "use the Internet to connect the public to information about the workings of Congress."
A $200,000 grant went to MAPLight.org to support its federal search engine that reveals the connections between money and votes within Congress.
A $100,000 grant went to the Center for Independent Media to strengthen its New Journalist Program by establishing a national branch in Washington, DC.
A $50,000 went to the Focus Project's OMB Watch to support OMB Watch's two-year "Fueling Democracy with Information in the 21st Century."
You can read about their grant program and past recipients here.
