Knight Foundation in Palm Beach County

As media leaders, Knight Foundation's founders Jack and Jim Knight sought to bring communities together through information. In their publications, they delivered the news that helped people determine their "own true interests," as Jack used to say.

Today, Knight Foundation is also focused on that ideal. Working with community innovators, Knight Foundation fosters informed and engaged communities. The foundation believes residents should have the information they need to make decisions about their lives and community. Knight strives for those residents to be highly engaged in the issues and opportunities that matter most to them and their neighbors.

Towards its goal of informed, engaged communities, Knight Foundation seeks out projects with the potential for transformational change.

In 2010 Knight Foundation announced a partnership with community foundations in the cities and towns where the Knight brothers owned newspapers.
