Ideal Applicant
A small faith-based church or ministry running local outreach or mission trips in Tennessee or nearby states, seeking modest grants for programmatic activities or trips.
Good Fit
- • Religious or church-affiliated programs focused on local outreach or mission travel.
- • Requests sized in the several-thousand-dollar range (typical grants around $5K).
- • Ability to follow the published application process and submit materials 60 days ahead.
- • Local or regional presence in Tennessee or neighboring states.
- • Existing or easily established relationship or referral from a prior grantee.
Geography
Grants were made across three states, but 60% of dollars flowed to Tennessee, indicating a regional footprint concentrated in the foundation's home state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows seven distinct recipients (nine grants) and the prior year showed ten distinct recipients, with a mix of churches, mission groups and some individual support—enough diversity to be more than a tiny closed circle but not a very broad national portfolio.
New Applicants
A public application process and one new recipient in the latest year show that unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio, but high repeat funding (six of seven recipients returned) suggests selection is still largely relationship-driven.
