‘Tis the season of #giving, and this week, our incredible team delivered 73 grants to strengthen our community! This transformational impact includes: Donor Advised Funds, support for the #PatSummittFoundation, #disasterrecovery assistance, and place-based recommendations from our Affiliate Funds. It takes all of our divisions, from #advancement to #grantmaking and #finance, collaborating effectively to achieve this level of impact. Folks are feeling philanthropic, and the #EastTennesseeFoundation team is joyfully, gratefully, and diligently working toward our shared goal of making #donor dreams and philanthropic impact possible! #EastTennessee #philanthropy #PatSummittFoundation #giving #charity #nonprofit #foundation #Tennessee

The Rotary Club of Knoxville brings together local leaders united to address #community needs, including this week’s program featuring our very own Board Treasurer Sam Albritton, President & CEO Keith Barber, and COO & VP of Programs Katharine Killen. They shared stories, lessons learned, grants given, and underscored the importance of people and partnerships to help #EastTennessee communities, including strategic work to address needs in the wake of #HurricaneHelene. We enjoyed hearing about some of the club’s recent #charitable work and appreciated the opportunity to share time with like-minded people. Thank you, Sam, for inviting us to speak and to the #KnoxvilleRotaryClub for your hospitality. #EastTennesseeFoundation #RotaryInternational #knoxville
