Community Relations

From the signing of the TVA Act in 1933 to today, TVA has helped improve the quality of life of the people who call the region home. TVA's Community Relations program puts that mission into motion and to be a good neighbor in the communities we serve. TVA employees volunteer thousands of hours each year to improve communities across the region.

Contribution Guidelines

People building a house

TVA considers the following guidelines in determining eligibility for charitable donations:

  • Tax-exempt classification under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code for Public Institutions
  • Direct, high impact or benefit to communities and citizens in the TVA service territory
  • Opportunity for TVA employees and retirees to volunteer
  • Alignment with the five giving pillars

To hone focus and maximize results, most Community Relations and giving efforts are proactively initiated from within by TVA employees. For this reason, we do no encourage unsolicited proposals.
