The Foundation was created in direct response to inquiries from residents on how they could donate funds for special projects or initiatives that would enhance Tellico Village.  One of the top concerns voiced by residents in the Long Range Planning focus groups was the lack of funds available to the TVPOA for new facilities, programs and equipment.

Donor-directed funds will be used to complete projects in accordance with the expressed wishes of the donor.  If we do have unrestricted funds, the Board will consider long established “wants” expressed through the long range planning process to be considered for funding.

TTF is not a substitute for POA funding of Village needs!  The Foundation was started to enhance existing funding mechanisms to expedite desired programs, features, equipment etc that are not currently planned for in the POA budget.  Think of it as 'wants' vs 'needs'.

Tellico Village is a great place, and we’re in a good position to increase the involvement of the residents in ways that make the Village even better.  A personal connection, whether it’s through their name on a pickleball court, some donated art, or a new meeting facility, creates an atmosphere in which residents can take pride in having contributed.   

What We Do

In a nutshell, the Timeless Tellico Foundation (TTF) charter is to make our village more attractive, vibrant and valuable to existing and future residents. 

The POA does a great job ensuring the village is properly managed and the villagers’ monthly dues are used effectively. Their challenge is trying to find the balance between expanding the offerings in the village with keeping the dues in check. This is where the TTF comes in.

While the TTF is still relatively new, the board’s long-term goal is to work with individuals and groups to make their dreams come true. We’re fortunate to have a bunch of passionate residents who love Tellico Village and have ideas they think would enhance our lifestyle. They’re willing to work to make these dreams come to life, and we’re excited about being able to help them get it done.

If we’re presented with an idea that makes sense and fits in with the overall future plan for Tellico Village, we’ll work with them to fine tune the project, present it for approval, and share their vision with the village. Another very important part of our part it to manage the funds for each project. 

TTF is a 501c3 corporation approved by the IRS to help ensure donations offer all the tax benefits one would expect from a non-profit group.
