The City of Knoxville is now accepting applications from non-profit organizations interested in receiving a Community Agency Grant (CAG) for Fiscal Year 2018-19, which begins July 1, 2018. 

Qualifying non-profit organizations must operate within the City of Knoxville and have been in operation for at least five years. All applicants seeking Community Agency Grant funding will choose between "Arts and Culture" or “Community and Social Services” and download the appropriate form at www.knoxvilletn.gov/citygrants.

Priority will be given to proposals from organizations that contribute to the goals and mission of the City of Knoxville. 

“Our city wouldn’t be as vibrant and energetic without the contributions of our non-profit arts and community groups,” said Indya Kincannon, Special Program Manager for the City of Knoxville. “The purpose of these grants is to fuel those organizations that establish and support our city’s unique culture.”

Providers of services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness may apply for a Homeless Grant, starting Monday, Feb. 5, via the City’s Community Development Department at www.knoxvilletn.gov/development (look under the “Homeless Grant” tab). 

The submission deadline for both the Community Agency Grant and Homeless Grant programs is Friday, Feb. 23, 2018. The City will not consider any application postmarked or received after the deadline.
