About 100 Black Men of Knoxville, Inc.
The 100 Black Men of Greater Knoxville, Inc., is an affiliated chapter of 100 Black Men of America, Inc. and is a non-profit corporation recognized under Internal Revenue Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Founded in 1963, the focus of the 100 Black Men organization is not the advancement of African-American youth and community and developing the leaders of tomorrow. Since its inception, the 100 Black Men, through its affiliated chapters, has mentored and directly impacted the lives of more than 120,000 youth.
The 100 Black Men of Greater Knoxville, Inc., (Knoxville 100) was chartered in 1994 and incorporated in 1995 by men from the community who were concerned about and committed to improving the lives of youth in general and African-American young men in particular. As an affiliate of the 100 Black Men of America, Inc. and consistent with its objectives, the Knoxville 100 focuses its efforts and energies on improving the lives of youth, primarily African American young men, but not exclusively. We pursue a four-part agenda or strategy: (1) Mentoring, (2) Health & Wellness, (3) Education, and (4) Economic Development.
The Knoxville 100 is governed by a Board of Directors which consists of the President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and heads of Standing Committees. At present, the organization does not have any paid staff. Funds for programs and activities are derived from membership dues, charitable contributions, and any revenue from an annual-fund raising gala and other activities consistent with the purpose of the organization. Our mission is to serve as a catalyst to empower African Americans to individually and collectively reach their full potential through maximizing their resources that foster and enhance achievement in education and community and economic empowerment.
