Knight Foundation: Prototype Fund

We fund projects that seek to improve how we create, share and use information essential to communities. Our efforts support the ideas of people who are curious, adaptable and willing to share what they learn—whether it be from a success or a failure.

We provide early-stage funding for experimentation and growth.

  • The primary way we fund new ideas is through the Knight Prototype Fund, which provides $35,000 in support, training and other resources to research and test the core assumptions of new information projects. Learn more at prototypefund.org.
