Your partner in philanthropy.
Knox County Foundation’s essence is embodied in this aspirational statement, published more than 80 years ago in our first annual report: “Each donor by his act has forever made himself an integral part of the civic welfare of the community. Each has created a living memorial whose purpose can never fail. Each will have a deferred participation in a new world he may never know, but which will nevertheless benefit from his foresight and generosity.”
Today’s Knox County Foundation provides expanded opportunities for citizens to make a lasting impact on our community. These include an array of options to accommodate any charitable interest and exciting matching gift programs to accelerate the growth and impact of funds. As you browse this website, we hope you come to appreciate both the longevity and magnitude of our organization’s presence in the cities, villages and green spaces of Knox County and consider inviting us to be your partner in philanthropy.
