Knight Foundation

The Knight Foundation is a philanthropic organization focused on fostering informed and engaged communities. Established by newspaper publishers John S. and James L. Knight, it supports initiatives in journalism, the arts, and community engagement primarily in U.S. cities where the Knight brothers once owned newspapers. The foundation provides grants to non-profit organizations and projects that promote free expression, access to information, and the strengthening of local communities. Its goal is to enhance democracy and improve the quality of life through informed citizen participation and vibrant cultural experiences.
