Summary
This funding opportunity is available to nonprofit organizations located in and around a particular metropolitan region in Tennessee. It is designed to support initiatives that advance education, promote economic mobility, and address pressing community needs among underserved children, adults and families. The opportunity is not open to individuals or for‑profit businesses; only tax‑exempt charitable organizations are eligible.
The funds may be used for program support or operating costs—specifically for well‑defined projects that align with key interests such as early‑childhood through post‑secondary education, mentorship, community health and wellness, prevention of homelessness and food insecurity, and other acute needs. The emphasis is on sustainable impact, collaboration, and meaningful reach in the local community.
Typical grant amounts fall in the range of roughly five‑thousand to twenty‑five‑thousand dollars, although there is no rigid minimum or maximum specified and each award depends on the project’s scope and quality.Proposals are accepted twice per year, with deadlines in early February and early August. Grants are reviewed by the foundation’s directors in the spring and fall, and organizations typically must wait two years after receiving a grant before being eligible to submit another.
Overall, this grant opportunity is ideal for established nonprofits in the region that can clearly articulate a project with measurable outcomes, serve underserved populations, and fit within the broad interest areas of education, economic opportunity, health equity, or urgent human‑services needs. If you have an initiative based in the region that aligns with those goals and you’re ready to demonstrate impact and sustainability, this could be a strong match.
