Knight Foundation invests in the 26 communities where John S. and James L. Knight once owned and operated newspapers, continuing their legacy of civic engagement.

As place-based social investors, we partner with visionary leaders across Knight communities to strengthen local institutions, back new ideas and help proven solutions grow. Our local program directors live and work in these places, including Akron, where our founders launched Knight Newspapers, and Miami, where their business was later headquartered.
