East Tennessee Historical Society Foundation
The mission is to provide monetary support for the activities of the ETHS, whose mission is to preserve, interpret and promote the history of Tennessee, with emphasis on East Tennessee. The East Tennessee Historical Society Foundation (ETHSF) board decided to temporarily suspend its mission of providing funds to ETHS. It elected to retain funds in the foundation as a means of growing the endowment until the endowment reaches a level better able to support ETHS activities.
