About Us

Timeless Tellico Foundation

MISSION STATEMENT

To fund new and enhance existing recreation and amenity facilities, programs, and equipment in partnership with private and corporate donors and the POA for the benefit of the greater Tellico Village Community.

A LITTLE HISTORY…

Under the leadership of POA Parks and Recreation Director Simon Bradbury, Timeless Tellico Foundation, Inc., (TTF) first came to life in 2018 to support and enhance the Tellico Village active lifestyle.  Founding documents were filed and approved by the TVPOA Board, the first board of directors was formed, and initial plans for naming rights, procedures, and purpose were defined. Legacy Parks Foundation in Knoxville served as the conduit for tax deductible donations while TTF was awaiting 501c3 approval from the IRS. These formative stages of development served as a solid foundation for success when TTF achieved independent 501c3 non-profit status in May of 2020.

The TTF Charter is to make our Village more attractive, vibrant, and valuable for existing and future residents.  It is not a substitute for the POA investing in planned and budgeted needs.  It does provide a mechanism to help us develop recreation amenities and programs better and faster through private funding donations that will bring lasting value to our entire community.

OUR STORY: LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Friends of the Foundation,

Thank you.

On behalf of the TTF Directors, thank you for your interest shown by visiting our new Timeless Tellico Foundation website. We hope that you will find it interesting and informative.

Thank you for your participation in and support of the active lifestyle we enjoy here in Tellico Village.

Thank you for being willing to share your time, talent, and treasure to ensure that the Foundation fulfills its mission of building new and enhancing existing recreation amenities to inspire that healthy lifestyle.

This is our legacy. The benefits will be realized not only by us, but by future generations of Villagers. The results are truly timeless.

The Pickleplex is a monument to what we can achieve … together. Athletic Trainers and The Kayak Launch at Clear Creek are shining examples of how partnerships can make great ideas come to life. Our friends and neighbors blaze meandering hiking trails, create pocket parks, and construct educational kiosks to be visited by not only our boots, but those of our children, grandchildren, and countless wanderers who will follow.

Current and future projects include partnering with the Parks and Recreation Department to support the Greenspace Initiative, sponsoring the Warriors at Ease program for our Veterans and First Responders, exploring the possibility of an outdoor entertainment and recreation facility at the Yacht Club, and seeking ways that we can work together to enhance the future golf amenity at Tanasi.

Completed and future projects are not the accomplishments of the Foundation Board alone. All those like you who nurture an idea and commit to seeing it through to completion ARE the Foundation.

So, thank you. For being the Foundation. For creating our legacy. For embodying the spirit of Tellico Village. I can’t wait to see what we do next … together!

Gratefully,

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why was this Foundation Created?

One of the top concerns voiced by residents in the Long Range Planning focus groups was the need for new facilities, programs and equipment. The POA does a great job of funding amenities in the village, but to create new facilities and programs or to enhance existing ones, we offer the opportunity for residents to help realize those dreams. These donations enhance, but do not replace POA funds.

How is the Foundation governed?

The Foundation board is made up of volunteer Directors who have the future of Tellico Village in their hearts and minds. All founding members were interviewed by the Recreation Committee and then approved by the POA.

Who oversees the money in the Foundation?
We have a volunteer treasurer who oversees our funds and reports to the Directors the status of our deposits. Access to Foundation Funds requires the approval of the Treasurer.
How Does the Board Determine Which Projects They Will Fund?
Donor-directed funds will be used to complete projects in accordance with the expressed wishes of the donor. The TTF Board will consider the requested wants and needs of property owners for utilizing unrestricted funds.
Do donors have control over how the project is completed?
The Foundation will work diligently to honor the wishes of our donors. However, all projects we support must be approved by the POA Board.
Your Why does the POA have to approve any projects? oes Here
Any project or structure developed on POA land becomes a POA-owned asset requiring approval. We do not anticipate approvals to be an arduous process, especially if the agreed-upon funds are available and the project is consistent with long-range planning goals and/or enhances existing facilities or programs.
How can I make a donation to Timeless Tellico?
The easiest way to donate via cash or check is to complete a donation envelope found at the Wellness Center, Chota Rec Center or Kahite. Simply complete the form on the envelope, insert check or cash, add a stamp and drop it in the mail. You may also place your check along with your contact information and any special instructions in a plain envelope and mail it to Timeless Tellico Foundation, PO Box 556, Loudon, TN 37774. Donations may also be made via credit card. Just go to the Tellico Life website, click on the Timeless Tellico link, click on the “Make a Donation” button and follow the directions. (You must be a Tellico Life subscriber to donate.) Donors can also contribute appreciated stock or other non-cash assets. Contact a TTF board member for details.
