New brand for Knox County Foundation
The Community Foundation of Mount Vernon & Knox County embarked on its 75th anniversary year with a more compact name and refreshed brand: the Knox County Foundation. It will also roll out a new logo and website this year.
The change from its founding name, the Mount Vernon Community Trust, reflects the expansion of its mission from Mount Vernon alone to the entire county. A subsequent major change occurred in 2001 when the trust form was abandoned in favor of a more flexible corporate model that allowed for a larger, more representative board of directors and paid staff.
The trust was established in December 1944 by Beatty B. Williams, then president of Cooper-Bessemer, with five funds totaling $131,394. As of December 2018, the foundation held $73 million in assets in 436 component funds and awarded $3.2 million in grants county-wide.
