This fund provides prompt and effective grants to assist rescue, relief, and recovery efforts after communities in East Tennessee experience the effects of disasters.
The Fund was created in 2011 after parts of East Tennessee experienced devastating storms. Its goal is to provide prompt and effective services to communities in need after experiencing the effects of disasters. When disasters occur, these funds allow the Foundation to respond in a timely fashion to support nonprofit organizations that provide critically needed services. Our years of experience have enabled us to build longstanding relationships and networks with local nonprofits and area agencies that know how to respond in their own communities. This fund mobilized $1.5 million during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021.
