Listen...to The Field: The Knott Foundation supports Friendzy's work for character education in Catholic schools.

The Knott Foundation is investing big in Catholic schools by funding leadership, emotional support, and creative character education 🙌🏽✨. One of the newest grantees? Our friends at Friendzy, who just received a major three-year grant to expand their faith-based, social-emotional learning program in 34 schools! 🏫🧠💬

Why we love Friendzy (beyond being pals): their curriculum is more than lessons. It’s a whole-school culture-builder—teaching emotional intelligence, practical social skills, and healthy habits through fun, faith-based language that students live instead of just learn. Plus, their unified approach spans Pre-K through high school, offering everything from activities and digital tools to Spanish resources and professional support. 

Imagine: classrooms buzzing with empathy, schools sharing a common faith-infused vocabulary, and teachers equipped to guide character development across every grade—rooted in the Gospel and grounded in listening hearts. That’s what’s sparking conversation and connection right now.
