Program Overview

The McKnight Foundation assists nonprofit organizations and public agencies to improve the quality of life for all people, particularly those in need.

Through grantmaking, coalition-building, and encouragement of strategic policy reform, we aim to strengthen children, families, communities, and the Twin Cities region; enrich people's lives through the arts; encourage protection of the natural environment; and promote research in selected fields.

The Foundation had assets of approximately $2.3 billion and gave about $93 million in grants in 2007. Of those funds, 75 percent were awarded in Minnesota.
