How We Serve Our Community

The Neal Foundation is built on a simple idea: a stronger community starts with supporting our neighbors. Our services are designed to provide stability for our elders, create opportunities for our youth, and empower our local workforce.

Discover the three core ways we are making a difference together in Claiborne County.

Home Repairs for Seniors

We believe our elders deserve to age with grace and dignity in the homes they love. For many, a simple repair can be an insurmountable financial or physical challenge. Our foundation steps in to provide free, essential home repairs that address critical safety hazards, improve living conditions, and provide priceless peace of mind. This service helps our seniors remain safe and independent in their own homes.

Our Repair Services Focus On:

  • Fixing minor plumbing and electrical issues.
  • Repairing or building handrails, ramps, and steps for accessibility.
  • Securing loose flooring and eliminating common trip hazards.
  • Improving overall home safety and comfort.

Scholarships for High School Seniors

An investment in education is an investment in the future of Claiborne County. We award annual scholarships to promising high school graduating seniors to help ease the significant burden of college tuition. This support sends a powerful message to our youth: our community believes in you and is invested in your success, empowering you to achieve your dreams.

Our Scholarship Program Aims To:

  • Recognize and reward academic excellence and dedication.
  • Reduce the barrier of student loan debt for local families.
  • Empower students to pursue their chosen college and career paths.
  • Foster the next generation of leaders for our community.

A skilled workforce is the engine of a thriving local economy. To create direct pathways to stable employment, we offer free, hands-on training programs in high-demand trades. Our courses in HVAC, plumbing, welding, and electrical are designed to move residents from learning to earning, equipping them with the skills for a long-lasting and prosperous career.
