Join Our Campaign

Knox Academy has launched a $4.5 million capital campaign to build a 12-acre purpose-built campus for the 40 children we serve and the 400+ families on our waiting list. For Phase 1, we are excited to launch our GiveSendGo campaign — $500,000 to open the new campus to its first students and begin building a model that other communities can adopt. Every gift moves the campaign forward.
