The Black Hills Knowledge Network reflects the work and investment of a growing range of partners in the region. The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Bush Foundation have provided major funding for this project.

Black Hills Knowledge Network community data is powered by Minnesota Compass, a social indicators project led by Wilder Research.
