KNIGHT FUND GRANT PROGRAM

Knight Foundation supports democracy in America by fostering informed, engaged, and equitable communities. The foundation invests in journalism, arts and culture in community, research in areas of media and democracy, and in the success of 26 cities and towns where John S. and James L. Knight once published newspapers. In 18 communities, including Grand Forks, Knight Foundation has endowments in the local community foundation and serves as the donor-advisor.
​
Knight's current strategic focus in Grand Forks is on connecting the University of North Dakota campus community and Downtown Grand Forks through the University Avenue Corridor. This work may include:
  • Building on Assets: better connecting the community to key assets like universities, corporations, or nature.
  • Public Spaces: enhancing the public realm to be more connected and vibrant.
  • Civic Engagement: breaking down barriers between residents and decision makers; engaging underrepresented communities in civic life and leadership roles.

 Letters of inquiry that fit the current strategic focus are accepted on an ongoing basis. ​
