In 2021, our generous supporters blew us away by helping us raise over $50,000. Thank you!

This Giving Tuesday, November 29th, you’re invited to a one-of-a-kind celebration with Tremont, where you can spend time with our beloved staff, see Tremont behind the scenes, meet other supporters and volunteers, and participate in outdoor activities from wherever you are. You’ll also be able to take part in exciting challenges, supported by United Way’s The Big Give Knox, which can double (and sometimes triple) the impact of your gift!

This Just In: Additional $5k Match Added
We set the ambitious goal of raising $20,000 to meet a donor match and, seeing that we’re off to a great start, another donor has offered an additional $5,000 match. Help us reach our new goal of raising $25,000 – every dollar you give will be doubled, raising $50,000 to support Tremont’s life-changing work. Donate now!

Happening Now…

Introducing the Tremont GO Fund

Gifts made to Tremont on Giving Tuesday will support our new GO Fund. This fund helps support all of the areas that make Tremont’s work come to life—financial assistance for campers coming to Tremont, tools and materials that keep our buildings safe and clean, nutritious meals for our guests, training and development for our talented staff, and much more. Once again, a couple of generous donors have committed to matching all Giving Tuesday donations up to $25,000 – and we’re taking them up on that challenge! This is a fantastic opportunity to double your impact on Giving Tuesday – make a gift now!

Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Your generosity promises life-changing experiences in the Smokies, now and for years to come.
