2025 Campbell Enhancement Fund

The Campbell Enhancement Fund is an affiliate fund of the East Tennessee Foundation and was established in 1999 by a dedicated group of Campbell County residents. This fund was created through generous contributions of time, resources, and vision with the goal of strengthening communities and enhancing the quality of life for residents in Campbell County, Tennessee. It focuses on thoughtful giving to support initiatives that improve lives and create stronger communities. The primary purpose of the Campbell Enhancement Fund is to support innovative programs and projects that build community goodwill, solve local challenges, and deliver tangible outcomes for the benefit of Campbell County. Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals that demonstrate a significant community impact using both qualitative and quantitative data. While not mandatory, applicants are recommended to provide a partial match equal to 20 percent of the grant amount through cash or in-kind contributions. Eligible applicants must be organizations with a local presence that primarily serve Campbell County residents. Proposals should clearly demonstrate how the projects will positively affect the community. All grant-funded initiatives should align with the fund’s overarching goal of community enhancement and must be executable within a one-year timeframe. The application window for the 2025 grant cycle opens on May 1, 2025, and closes on May 28, 2025, by 6:00 p.m. Grant awards will be announced in July 2025, with the funding period running from August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026. Organizations may request funding up to $3,000 per proposal.
