Mission Statement 

The Tellico Community Foundation (TCF) exists to enrich the lives of our residents and the greater community by evaluating and addressing community issues, connecting generosity to programs and projects, and nurturing a culture of charitable giving.  For more information about TCF, click here.

Guiding Principles

The TCF will identify and evaluate community needs through studies, focus groups, networking with other charitable groups, and open forums.

The TCF will coordinate with other charitable organizations in the community to achieve maximum impact, including providing supplementary funding if warranted.

The TCF will seek to meet unique and currently unmet human needs in the community where funding support can make a difference.

The TCF will create opportunities for charitable giving to provide general support for TCF initiatives as well as for new projects of specific interest to donors.

Opportunities for Charitable Giving

The Tellico Community Foundation will devote 60% of all funds raised to grant making to local organizations in Loudon and 

Monroe Counties. 40% will be placed in endowment for the future.

Generosity can be directed to specific projects or charities in line with the wishes of our donors.  Therefore, we will gladly accept input regarding needs in our area that could be addressed through the TCF.

A number of charitable giving options exist. Please contact Jill Murphy, [email protected], at the East Tennessee Foundation. You can also donate online by accessing the Tellico Community Foundation page at www.etf.org/Tellico
