The Speckhard-Knight Charitable Foundation aims to empower individuals to lead enriched and self-sufficient lives by funding nonprofit organizations. It focuses on enhancing resiliency in families through various programs including those addressing domestic abuse and mental health, promoting access to the natural world, sustainability efforts, and ensuring the availability of summer camp experiences.
The Speckhard-Knight Charitable Foundation's grant program supports a wide range of initiatives aimed at helping individuals live full and inspired lives. It particularly focuses on enhancing family resilience through educational and human service programs tackling issues such as domestic abuse, foster care, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, it supports projects that provide access to the natural world, promote sustainability, and increase accessibility to summer camps. The Foundation offers funding for operating expenses, staff salaries, minor construction projects to enhance nonprofit capabilities, start-up costs for new programs, and support for existing ones. However, it typically does not commit to multi-year funding and remains open to aiding in emergency situations.
