Resolve Philly in Philadelphia was one of the initial recipients (https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia-covid-19-community-information-fund-resolve-philly-philadelphia-inquirer-whyy-wurd-20200408.html) of the Philadelphia COVID-19 Community Information Fund, created by the Independence Public Media Foundation (IPMF), the Lenfest Institute for Journalism, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and the Knight-Lenfest Local News Transformation Fund. Resolve, which leads a collaborative of 24 Philadelphia-area news organizations, received $1 million to serve as “the backbone for a coordinated citywide crisis response plan that provides news and information access, and is powered by its partners and other local organizations and institutions.” Plans called for gathering and disseminating information on COVID-19 in several languages, including Spanish. Solutions journalism will be a significant part of this project.
