Knoxville Leadership Foundation was founded in 1994 upon the belief that our city has the resources necessary to meet the needs of our communities and the people in them. As a faith-based, entrepreneurial nonprofit, KLF connects human and financial resources to address evolving unmet needs. KLF leads through collaboration, capacity-building and the creation of programs that currently focus on four strategic areas:
*mentoring youth and families
*empowering the unemployed
*strengthening other nonprofit organizations
*improving housing conditions for low-income individuals and families. Our work is accomplished by:
*Connecting those in need with the resources they need to thrive.
*Promoting collaboration among groups to yield the greatest results.
*Creating programs where needs are not being met.
*Assisting groups in building capacity to increase their ability to serve. KLF strives to bring healthy and holistic change to the greater Knoxville area.
