Thank you for your interest in supporting the Knoxville History Project.

KHP relies on support from readers like you to research, preserve, and promote the unique history of Knoxville, a city whose past makes it distinct from all other places. We publish new compelling stories and create historical experiences that are memorable, educational, and relevant to the city’s future.

KHP seeks general support to fund our ongoing programming. Contributions of any size truly make a difference to allow KHP to cover new ground and make Knoxville history more accessible for everyone.

Corporate Matching Gifts

If you’ve recently made a contribution to KHP (and we sincerely thank you!) or if you are planning on making one soon, ask your employer if they have a matching gift program. You might be surprised to learn that your employee may match your gift up to a certain dollar amount which could mean doubling the impact of your gift to KHP.

If your employer requires information from KHP to be included in such a program please contact our Development Director, Paul James, at paul@knoxhistoryproject.org who will be happy to help. Thank you.
