The Knoxville Heritage Community Foundation’s annual grant program will award its latest round of grants tonight.

Harv Sprafka with the Foundation says when groups have the means to make improvements in Knoxville, every citizen benefits. Eight grants will be awarded this year. Each will describe their project and its impact on Knoxville. The Foundation is funded through bequests and other donations from people invested in Knoxville’s future. The ceremony will take place at the Grand Theater at 4:30 p.m.
