Welcome

The Knox County Community Foundation is a nonprofit, public charity created by and for the people of Knox County. We connect donors with the causes they care about. We are your center for charitable investment in our community:

We help Donors Achieve Their Charitable Vision by providing assurance that their gifts are making a difference and meeting the community needs they care about most — today and forever into the future.

We help Professional Advisors Help Their Clients by offering philanthropic resources that help donors make smart and well-informed giving decisions.

We help Nonprofits Fulfill Their Missions by strengthening their ability to meet community needs through grants that assist charitable programs, address community issues, support community agencies, launch community initiatives, and support leadership development.

On this website you will meet our professional staff and Board of Trustees, learn about our donors and grant and scholarship recipients, and discover how you can join us in creating a strong and vibrant community through charitable giving.

You want to make a difference, especially close to home. We make sure your philanthropy is meaningful, effective and easy.
