Formerly known as the MR Foundation of Tennessee, Inc., KIND Charities of Tennessee is a Knights of Columbus sponsored 501(c)(3) non-profit charity helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities within the state. KC councils raise money through drives and activities for the Foundation to distribute to eligible organizations that serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Seventy-five (75%) of all money raised is returned to these community organizations supported by the councils. The remaining funds are distributed through grants to projects within the state as requested by the councils.
