Your non-profit organization may apply for a Community Agency Grant if it operates within the City of Knoxville, has been in operation for at least five years, and has current registration as a charitable organization with the Tennessee Secretary of State.
Community Agency Grants support non-profit organizations that help the City meet its goals and priorities in two categories: Arts & Culture and Community and Social Services.
(Providers of homeless services should apply for the Homeless Grant via Housing and Neighborhood Development.)
