Kingsport Community Foundation

Kingsport Community Foundation is a philanthropic organization governed by a local board of directors. Their mission is to help donors maximize their contributions to the community by awarding grants that enrich lives and strengthen the greater Kingsport community forever.

Successful applicants for one-year grants will demonstrate an ability to maximize resources and leverage additional in-kind contributions and/or matching funds. Grants are intended to be used to create new partnerships, or expand existing partnerships through programs that implement an interdisciplinary approach.

Examples of possible projects include: a program which brings youth and senior citizens together to focus on environmental concerns; expansion of after-school programs to include community service projects; support for a permanent exhibit of traditional quilt block patterns on area barns; and a summer youth program which provides employment training and information about healthy lifestyles.

Grants will be made to established organizations located within or that serve the Greater Kingsport Community in Sullivan County.
