Knoxville Bar Foundation Grant Application Process
The 2026 Grant Application process is now closed.
The deadline for submitting grant applications was 5 pm on Thursday, April 30.

The Knoxville Bar Foundation’s goal is to facilitate and support projects and programs that seek to improve the administration of justice, enhance the public’s understanding of and confidence in the legal system, support access to the legal system, and serve the legal profession. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded more than $600,000 for local law-related projects and programs. The individual grant awards usually are $5,000 or less. This is a meaningful contribution to programs that promote and enable the essence of what lawyers seek – liberty and justice for all.
