Aslan Foundation Information

Loghaven is funded by the Aslan Foundation, a Knoxville-based philanthropy established in 1994 by attorney Lindsay Young. The foundation's funding priorities include arts and culture, historic preservation, animal welfare, land conservation, outdoor recreation, and advancing livability in Knoxville. The foundation works to strengthen the greater Knoxville community through foundation projects, public-private partnerships, and grantmaking. In addition to Loghaven Artist Residency, foundation projects and public-private partnerships have included restoring historic structures, building parks, and managing large-scale woodland restoration. The foundation's grantmaking focuses on capacity building and has led to leaps forward in programming and sustainability for organizations such as Big Ears Festival, Friends of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Young Williams Animal Center, Cancer Support Community, Knoxville Museum of Art, Knox Heritage, Knoxville Opera, and Knoxville Symphony Orchestra.
