The team is grateful to our friends at Visit Knoxville, who helped us kick off the 2026 Campaign on Market Square with friends from the Smokies, WDVX’s Blue Plate Special, and Smokey XII!
Surrounded by the community, we celebrated the announcement that we are awarding $3.91 million to 105 funded partners. It is only through the generosity of our region that those organizations can continue their essential work.
Be Part of the Campaign. Show Your Community You Care.
There are plenty of ways to get involved in this year’s United Way of Greater Knoxville Campaign. Join us at a community event, support local businesses that are giving back, or find another way to show your support. However you choose to get involved, you’re helping create opportunities for our neighbors and strengthening East Tennessee.
