John S. and James L. Knight Foundation

John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is a Miami, Florida-based private foundation that provides philanthropic funding across the United States, including 26 U.S. communities. Its grantmaking focuses on local journalism and media, arts and culture, community development and impact initiatives tied to access to information, free and creative expression, inclusive economic growth, and healthier communities. It is most relevant for nonprofit, civic, media, arts, community and public-interest technology efforts rather than conventional venture-backed startup financing.
