Description
The Fund for Greene County is a community fund of East Tennessee Foundation supporting opportunities to advance and improve the quality of life of Greene County residents. Established in 1993 by local donors, it provides a lasting resource for achieving community goals and promoting the county.
Past supported projects addressed food insecurity and hunger, including growing, harvesting, packaging, selling, and serving locally sourced foods. Examples include farmers markets, school backpack meal programs, home-delivered meals, summer and weekend feeding programs, and Farm to Table initiatives. Past priorities included children, teens, seniors, and other underserved individuals. Special consideration was given to partnerships between two or more organizations addressing local food insecurity or hunger; these are described as past priorities rather than a new cycle’s requirements.
