Ideal Applicant
Established charities—especially faith-based organizations, education providers, youth programs, food banks, and community-service nonprofits—seeking organizational or program support, especially with operations or impact in Tennessee or the Southeast.
Good Fit
- • Request aligns with faith-based, education, youth development, food security, or local community-service priorities.
- • Budget request fits typical award sizes (many grants in the mid-five-figure to six-figure range, with some $1M+ awards).
- • Organization can document impact and financial stability and has some local or regional connection to Tennessee or the Southeast.
- • Willingness to engage with program staff or specific initiative application forms (e.g., youth/giving-circles).
Geography
Latest-year grants reached recipients in 41 states, showing a broadly national footprint even though a majority (about 55%) of dollars were concentrated in Tennessee.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 546 distinct recipients and hundreds of grants across many organizational types, with modest top-recipient concentration (top five = 23%), indicating a large and diverse recipient set for the funder’s size.
New Applicants
Direct behavioral evidence of openness exists: about 175 new recipients were funded in the latest year (≈32% new), and 371 recipients returned across years; combined with a public website and named staff contacts, this suggests unfamiliar organizations can and do enter the portfolio.
