The program, 21st Century Solutions, will enable nonprofits to compete for funding in the ten cities where NBC owns local stations.

The initiative will support “high-impact, innovative programs” in areas including arts and media, civic engagement and community development. The funding will come from the NBCU foundation, while the 10 O&Os will spotlight the programs on.

“This is a great opportunity for us to work with local organizations that are doing innovative work,” Valari Staab, president of the NBC O&Os, said in a statement. “Our local stations are thrilled to be able to support initiatives that will make a real difference in their communities.”

Grants will be awarded to one winner and two runners-up in each city. More information on the program is available in an NBCUniversal video (watch after the jump). continued…
