Donations

HELP:

Donations of cash and gifts-in-kind are always appreciated at the clinic. Each $40 donated covers the average cost of one patient visit. Each year the clinic records more than 17,000 patient visits. On-site volunteers and off-site referral physicians and dentists are always needed. You can help us spread the word about the clinic by scheduling an InterFaith speaker for your religious/civic/business organization.

FUNDING:

Patient fees usually comprise about 25% of the clinic's income. The remaining income comes from numerous sources, including donations from local hospitals, individuals, businesses, charitable foundations and religious congregations. Special events are also regularly held to raise funds.

Approximately 75% of the clinics income goes directly to patient care.

Generous donations of gifts-in-kind reduce administrative cost. Local medical and dental communities, equipment manufactures and the Knoxville Junior League donated most clinic equipment. Nearly 95% of medications are donated. Volunteers reduce the cost of personnel.
