WAFF reports the grants, part of the fourth round of TVA Cares funding, went to projects that address literacy, hunger, access to the arts, and providing students with sensory issues to take a break.

The projects had to have at least one of TVA's core priorities, including education, workforce development, arts and culture, diversity and inclusion, community enrichment, disaster relief, and emergency response, health, hunger, and housing, and innovation.
