What is the Chamber Foundation

The Blount County Chamber Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization existing to meet special educational, cultural, charitable and scientific needs in our community. In addition to its own particular programs, this entity offers administrative support to other non-profit organizations such as Empty Pantry Fund, MLK Celebrations, etc.   The Foundation is supported by charitable contributions and through fees assessed for administering funds of organizations who do not have a 501(c)3 designation.  For more information on the Chamber Foundation contact Tammi Ford at 865-983-2241.
