About our Miami Strategy

Miami’s ever-evolving population – some 50 percent of residents were born elsewhere – offers a window into the future of America’s cities. While the area’s diversity is its greatest strength, it’s also a great challenge. In Knight Foundation’s hometown, we seek to inform and engage our community by bridging differences and bringing South Floridians together through the arts and educational opportunities.

Knight Foundation is working to weave the arts into the fabric of the community. We ask everyone in the community for their best ideas for the arts through a contest called the Knight Arts Challenge. In four years, we’ve received over 5,000 ideas. Funds have helped nurture individual artists and organizations, aided cultural groups in adapting to changing trends and technologies and amplified cultural offerings.

In education, we strive to help inform and educate our next generation of leaders. To do that, Knight Foundation has focused on closing the achievement gap between middle and low income kids, with a combination of metric-based intervention programs in Focused in one feeder pattern of schools.

About Our Engaged Communities Strategy

To help sustain healthy communities in a democracy, we aim to increase the ability of individuals to engage in change.
