As a group, these awards reflect the diversity of charitable interests defined in the Foundation’s mission statement:

  • To assess and respond to emerging and changing community needs in the fields of education, youth services, recreation, health, arts and culture, social services, and civic and community development;
  • To develop a permanent endowment for the community, and to serve as a catalyst for the initiation of vital projects.

Foundation Priorities

The Foundation seeks to maximize its impact in the community and has adopted the following strategic priorities to guide its grantmaking. Proposals that address one or more of these priorities have a greater likelihood of receiving funding. They are listed here in no particular order of importance.

  • A pilot project which can serve as a model of excellence in the community
  • A project which proposes a creative solution to an identified, but unmet need, in the community
  • A project or program which encourages volunteer involvement
  • A project that is a collaborative effort among nonprofit organizations in the community and will eliminate duplication of services
  • A project which is likely to make a clear difference in the quality of life for a substantial number of people
  • A project which promotes economic vitality in the community.

Funding Information

  • Small Grant up to $5,000 to $10,000.
  • Major Grant more than $10,000.

  • Grants are made to tax-exempt private agencies classified as 501(c)(3) organizations, and to public charities as defined by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
  • Public schools, governmental entities and Knox County colleges and universities are also eligible to apply for Foundation grants.
