United Way of Greater Knoxville, along with the City of Knoxville and Knox County governments, is launching a Community Healing Fund to provide resources to Black-led organizations in response to recent gun violence and tragic events. Funds will be direction to support Black-led nonprofit organizations doing violence interruption programming and youth and family enrichment and development work.
Key community leaders will be the decision makers in this grant making process. They named the fund, determined how to administer the money, and will decide where to most effectively invest. 100% of donations will go to support the agencies and organizations selected to receive funding by the committee.
