In celebration of our Foundation's 25th anniversary of supporting our communities, First Horizon Foundation, the charitable foundation of Capital Bank and First Tennessee, is launching our 25 Years of Giving Video Contest.

For the past quarter-century, our foundation has distributed more than $80 million to meet community needs and we are excited to continue investing in our communities as our company continues to grow and expand. 

The First Horizon Foundation operates under two entities, Capital Bank Foundation and the First Tennessee Foundation.

Our 25 Years of Giving Video Contest celebrates this milestone and introduces the Capital Bank Foundation to organizations in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. 

The contest will be held from June 25 – Aug. 1 and $250,000 will be invested back into our communities to winning organizations. 

Previous grant recipients, as well as nonprofits that would like to be considered for foundation funding, may submit videos of up to 60 seconds in length. Videos should illustrate how a grant from our foundation has helped or could help the community. 

Finalists will be determined through public voting and a panel of judges will select winners, which will receive grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. A total of $250,000 will be awarded.
