FedScoop- TechCongress gets $1M from the Knight Foundation to bring tech expertise to Capitol Hill

FedScoop reports on TechCongress’ newly unveiled grant from the Knight Foundation:

TechCongress, the nonprofit organization founded by one-time Hill staffer Travis Moore, announced Friday that it will be expanding its Congressional Innovation Fellowship program thanks to a $1 million investment from the Knight Foundation.

“It’s clear that more expertise of how tech works is needed at our highest levels of government,” Lilian Coral, Knight Foundation director for national strategy and technology innovation, said in a statement. “TechCongress is helping to answer that call, working side-by-side with both major political parties to ensure Congress gets better, faster and smarter when it comes to grappling with new digital age demands.”
