John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Private foundation in Miami, United States.
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is a private foundation in Miami dedicated to supporting journalism and arts programs. It operates from an office building on Tigertail Avenue and manages significant financial resources to fund initiatives across the country.
The foundation was established in 1950 by two newspaper publishers who wanted to support education and community development using their resources. Over time, it evolved into a major source of funding for media innovation and artistic work.
The foundation supports journalism and arts programs in communities across the country, strengthening local media and creative work. Its backing helps journalists and artists continue their work and try new approaches in their fields.
Organizations can learn about funding opportunities on the foundation's website and then submit an initial inquiry through the online system. The process starts with a brief written description of the proposed project before any formal application.
The foundation works specifically with media and artists in about two dozen different communities across the country, not just major cities. This distributed presence allows it to support smaller towns and work directly with local projects.
