Mission and programs · 2023

• HIGHER EDUCATION: OUR MISSION IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH OUR CURRICULUM, THE CHARACTER OF OUR LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, OUR RESIDENTIAL CAMPUS CULTURE, AND OUR COMMUNITY. KNOX COLLEGE HAS A TRADITION OF FREE INQUIRY, INDEPENDENT THOUGHT, AND DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES. OUR STUDENTS CHOOSE THEIR OWN PATH TOWARDS A DEGREE, GUIDED BY SCHOLAR TEACHERS WHO ENCOURAGE THEM TO EXPLORE IDEAS AND PLACES, STRETCH THEIR INTELLECT AND THEIR TALENTS, BLEND THOUGHT WITH ACTION, AND FUSE IMAGINATION WITH INITIATIVE. FOUNDED IN 1837 BY SOCIAL REFORMERS STRONGLY OPPOSED TO SLAVERY, KNOX WAS ONE OF THE FIRST COLLEGES IN THE UNITED STATES OPEN TO BOTH WOMEN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR. IT WAS ON OUR CAMPUS WHERE ABRAHAM LINCOLN CHOSE TO DENOUNCE SLAVERY ON MORAL TERMS FOR THE FIRST TIME DURING THE 1858 LINCOLN-DOUGLAS DEBATE. WITH A CAMPUS POPULATION THAT INCLUDES STUDENTS FROM 48 STATES AND 51 COUNTRIES, 25% U.S. STUDENTS OF COLOR, AND INDIVIDUALS FROM EVERY IMAGINABLE RELIGIOUS AND SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND. MEMBERS OF THE KNOX COMMUNITY ARE ACTIVELY CHALLENGED TO BROADEN THEIR POINTS OF VIEW. KNOX COLLEGE IS A COLLEGE THAT CHANGES LIVES (998 STUDENTS).

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made
