Knox Community Foundation

Communities are always growing and changing, and new challenges arise each year. By building lasting resources together, we make sure support is always ready when our communities need it most.

That's the idea behind our Rooted in Community campaign: building lasting Community Good funds that let us respond wherever the need is greatest, today and for generations to come.

Right now, every eligible gift is matched 2-to-1, so your generosity goes even further for Knox County.

Congratulations to the Knox Gives Grant recipients! 🎉

Our Community Advisory Board spent time learning about the needs across our community and chose to invest in local organizations making an impact. These grants will support families after disaster, help people in addiction recovery, stock food pantries for neighbors in need, fund music and tennis programs for local students, invest in scholarships and school resources, and keep community traditions like the Farm Fair going strong.

We are proud to support local nonprofits like these, demonstrating community philanthropy in action. We appreciate our Community Advisory Board for their thoughtful decision-making.
