Community
Partnership Initiative
Since its launch
in 1998, Rohm and Haas Company has
provided local communities with a special
grant-making program called the Community
Partnership Initiative (CPI). Today,
CPI grants of $30,000 are annually
awarded in seven Rohm and Haas communities
in the United States, including Knoxville.
 The CPI program is
managed by the Knoxville Plant Community
Advisory Council (CAC). The
CAC is an open forum for community representatives
and the local Rohm and Haas facility
to discuss the goals, activities and
concerns of both the local plant and
the surrounding community.
The CAC is responsible
for identifying a focus for the grant,
requesting proposals, evaluating grant
applications, and ultimately awarding
the grant to the winning non-profit
organization. To determine the focus
for CPI in our community, the CAC recently
polled community leaders to identify
the most pressing local need. The
response from local leaders was clear:
community land use projects that involve:
beautification, greenways, parks, neighborhood
cleanup, neighborhood involvement and
community pride, historical preservation
and environmental improvement
The target communities for the CPI
grant are programs or projects located
within a three-mile radius of the Rohm
and Haas Knoxville operations which
includes the communities of Fort Sanders,
Lonsdale, Mechanicsville and West View.
