Knight Foundation is a national foundation with strong local roots. We

essential for a healthy democracy.

Knight Foundation’s Community and National Initiatives program works in 
26 communities across the United States. As a national foundation with

insights and ideas nationally about how to support informed and engaged 
communities.

cities and communities.

    technology-oriented strategy for Knight Foundation communities.

    national and place-based partners.
  * Build national networks that can connect Knight Foundation and local
    partners to thought leaders and expertise around the future of
    informed and engaged communities.
