WHAT WE FUND

Knight supports informed and engaged communities where the Knight brothers owned and operated newspapers. We believe an engaged community is one in which people are attached to the place where they live and are invested in the community’s future. Learn more through our Statement of Strategy.

In Miami, Knight seeks to position community resilience and economic opportunity as key drivers of Miami’s success and resident’s connection to their community. 

OUR WORK

Since 2012, Knight has invested more than $57 million to nurture Miami’s tech and entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Recent investments towards supporting greater economic opportunity include the Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences at Florida International University, MDC Tech at Miami Dade College and CodePath. You can find a full list of grants here.

In recent years, Knight has invested in efforts to advance locally informed climate solutions. Investments include nationally recognized organizations, including Miami Waterkeeper, Everglades Foundation and Miami-Dade Innovation Authority. Knight also invests in Miami’s arts and culture as a way to connect people to place and to one another. Investing in arts and culture is central to Knight’s effort to build stronger, better informed and more engaged communities, which are critical for a more effective democracy.
