Local Communities
Supporting the organizations, programs, and gathering places that bring neighbors together and help communities thrive.
The Knorr Family · Giving together since 2026
Community shapes us. Curiosity grows us.
The Knorr Foundation supports local communities and education. We believe the communities around us shape who we are and how we grow, and that learning, culture, and caring for one another make those communities stronger.
What we value
Three ideas guide every gift
Community
The places we live shape who we become. We invest in local communities so everyone has a place to belong and grow.
Curiosity
Learning never stops. We support education and new experiences that open minds and broaden perspectives.
Care
Strong communities are built on people who look out for one another. We give to encourage kindness and connection.
What we support
Two areas close to home
Education & Learning
Supporting schools, libraries, arts and cultural programs, and experiences that spark curiosity and help people see the world through new eyes.
Our story
Giving back is something we do together
A community helps define who a person is and how they grow. The people around us, our neighbors, teachers, friends, and even strangers, shape our values and open our minds.
We believe in a lifelong curiosity for learning and experiencing new things. Different perspectives don’t divide us; they make us better.

Passing it on
Giving is something we want our children and grandchildren to grow up with. Each generation helps choose where our family gives, learns about the needs in our community, and carries the tradition forward.
