Our National Program supports innovative leaders and entrepreneurial organizations working across communities and disciplines to bring about transformation. We invest in their ideas and integrate their contributions into our programs nationally and in the 26 Knight communities. We aim to deepen the impact of their work by sharing the knowledge gained from these investments with change leaders in our communities and nationwide.
Through our National Program, Knight Foundation seeks to address significant issues that affect many communities and that offer opportunities for developing innovation on a large scale. We provide models, leverage resources and influence decisions that can create systemic change.
