In Charlotte, Knight Foundation\u2019s work focuses on the Historic West End, which is experiencing substantial commercial and residential investment. Leveraging economic growth, our vision is for the West End to become an inclusive and thriving residential, commercial and university corridor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

Since 2008, Knight has committed more than $58 million to Charlotte, including investing in the Local Initiatives Support Corporation\u2019s<\/a> community development strategy aimed at driving transformation and promoting economic opportunity in the Historic West End and across the city; helping Project L.I.F.T. launch the Civic Tech Experience<\/a>, which provides the city\u2019s West Charlotte community with digital skill-building and connections to economic resources and community engagement opportunities; and supporting the development of community-based organizations to lead neighborhood transformation such as the Historic West End Partnership<\/a> and the West Side Community Land Trust<\/a>. Our investments seek to elevate community voices and support greater economic opportunity for all. <\/p>\n<\/div>
