and James L. Knight Foundation, also known as the Knight Foundation, provides grants for journalism, communities, and the arts. Knight-Ridder newspapers and the Foundation held ties to 26 U.S. cities.
In 1998, Knight decided to permanently fund these 26 cities, including Bradenton, independent from where Knight-Ridder bought or sold their newspaper business in the future. As part of an initiative to start, support, and grow community foundations in its 26 newspaper communities, the Knight Foundation challenged the new Manatee Community Foundation’s board in 1998 to raise the first $1 million of endowment funds for MCF.
MCF did it in 6 months.
