Affiliate Funds

County affiliate funds are established for the benefit of specific counties in East Tennessee, and support a variety of philanthropic organizations and purposes within that specific county. Although they are component funds of the Foundation, a separate and distinct group of advisors to a county affiliate fund is generally chosen from among the local community to govern and provide management to the fund's activities. County affiliate funds enable smaller communities to enjoy many of the benefits of a community foundation while taking advantage of the Foundation's staff and expertise and avoiding the costs and administrative burdens of a separate community foundation.
