East Tennessee Foundation achieved recertification for meeting all National Standards for Community Foundations

We are proud to announce we have just achieved recertification for meeting all National Standards for Community Foundations, which means we comply with best practices across all functional areas of our work, or as the Community Foundations National Standards Board aptly describes it: “The National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations® accreditation program represents your foundation’s commitment to go above and beyond federal and state law requirements to demonstrate accountability and excellence to communities, policymakers, and the public.”

We are proud of the excellence our team demonstrates in their work each and every day. Many thanks to Jessica Renfro, Director of Operations, who spear-headed our recertification effort, which is good for 3 years and a noteworthy part of our marketing and communications.
