The Knox Education Foundation is a 501(C)3 organization that was formed in 2020 through the merger of the Great Schools Partnership Trust and Project GRAD Knoxville. This consolidation resulted in a powerful public-private partnership aimed at enhancing crucial programs at Knox County Schools, strengthening academic achievement, and helping students reach their full potential in school, the workforce, and life. The foundation employs data-driven research, collaborative insight, and innovative approaches to develop solutions to the most pressing challenges facing our educational system.

Their mission is to be a catalyst for the transformation of public education by investing in and advocating for innovative programs, partnerships, and initiatives that achieve excellent outcomes for all students. Their vision is that every student graduates and is prepared for success in college, career, and life. With core values of accountability, equity, innovation, courage, and hope, the Knox Education Foundation is committed to convening systems, collaborating to overcome barriers, and being a champion for the transformation of public education.

To support their impactful work, you can donate to the foundation. For more information, you can contact Mike Taylor at mtaylor@knoxed. org or 865.
