Overview
The Knight Family Charitable Foundation, established by Peg and Bill Knight, focuses on enhancing community welfare through humanitarian support, education, and the arts. It aims to protect native wildlife and their habitats while promoting projects aligned with its mission. The foundation continues the legacy of giving back, inspired by the Knights' lifelong commitment to community service. 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations are eligible for support, fostering initiatives that resonate with the foundation's vision.
Peg and Bill Knight were love at first sight! They grew up together in Savannah, Georgia where both of their families were established.
Before Bill passed in 1997, he and Peg established the Knight Family Charitable Trust which became the Knight Family Charitable Foundation upon Peg’s passing in 2015. Giving back to the community and paying it forward were always firm beliefs of the Knight family.
