Knoxville, TN (WOKI) There are two grants to which Knoxville nonprofits can now apply.
Mayor Indya Kincannon has facilitated the Community Agency Grant and the Opioid Abatement Grant to start this year.
The CAG was created to support nonprofits involved in arts and culture and community and social services.
The opioid grants were created to support local organizations that help mitigate and prevent opioid addiction in Knoxville.
This year, the city allocated $300,000 to address opioid addiction in the community.
Groups applying for either grant must operate within Knoxville city limits. For the CAG, organizations must have held a 501c3 for at least five years while organizations only need to have the status for two years for the opioid grants.
