The 1803 Fund is an organization based in Portland, Oregon, seeking to redevelop historically Black areas locally. The organization was established in 2023, after Phil and Penny Knight pledged $400 million. 1803 Fund's first investment is the Albina Riverside in inner North Portland. The organization purchased approximately $70 million of real estate for the project.[1][2][3] Another project is called The Low End.[4][5]

According to Oregon Public Broadcasting, the organization was established "to help investors rebuild some of the economic prosperity and community spaces destroyed by racist urban renewal policies and projects". 1803 Fund "focuses on building community areas for education, arts programs, housing and youth development."[6] Rukaiyah Adams is the chief executive officer.[1] 1803 Fund is an affiliate of Albina Vision Trust.[7][8]

In 2026, the 1803 Fund launched Black History Month with a celebration at the Portland Art Museum.[9]
