The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
We are a national foundation with local roots. We choose, as the Knight brothers chose, to seek opportunities that can transform both communities and journalism, and help them reach their highest potential. We want to ensure that each community's citizens get the information they need to thrive in a democracy.
And we ask, as we evaluate opportunities and grants, "Is this truly transformational?
Because grant making requires a sound financial base, we preserve the Knight brothers' gift through prudent investment and careful management.
