Open Topic

“Ideas won’t keep. Something must be done about them.” – Alfred North Whitehead

Trinity Health Foundation of East Tennessee extends the healing ministry of Jesus by improving the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of our community.

Envisioned Goal

We encourage your organization to select one of the five specific topics above for your project, as these will be emphasized in our selection process. These topics were developed from a community-wide forum in the fall of 2022 to address the most critical needs expressed by the community leaders. However, if your project idea does not align with one of the five specific 2024 initiatives, we will consider its merits in this “Open” Topic.

Trinity recognizes significant needs in many areas relating to the health of our region. For this reason, we are leaving one of our topics “open” for those of you with a passion for serving the health needs of our community in ways that your experience and passion guide.

We seek great partners to enable transformational projects that become a catalyst for good health in our community. In responding to this “Open Topic,” remember our mission: Trinity Health Foundation of East Tennessee extends the healing ministry of Jesus by improving the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of our community.

Background

Trinity Health Foundation keeps our arms and minds open to any ideas that might be valuable to our community's health. We have selected our health initiatives for 2024, but we did not want to overlook a great opportunity that did not fit into our selected health initiatives – hence this "open" topic. While we have this open topic for needs not previously listed, we strongly encourage you to consider a proposal for our five specific topics as the community developed them at a public forum in fall 2022.
