Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize community nonprofit, primarily Tennessee-based (Nashville-area), working in youth development, community services, food security, faith-based or arts programs and seeking modest unrestricted or program support.
Good Fit
- • Located in Tennessee or serving the Nashville/Greater-TN community
- • Project or operating support requests in the small-to-midsize range (many grants are $1K–$10K)
- • Mission aligns with youth development, community services, food banks, music/arts, or faith-based programs
- • Willingness to make a written, personal request and demonstrate local ties or endorsements
- • Track record of direct service or partnership in the local community
Geography
Observed giving is heavily Tennessee‑focused: roughly 88% of grant dollars went to Tennessee in the latest year, despite grants appearing in six states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 38 distinct recipients and across three years there are many repeat and many new grantees (22 repeat recipients across years and 16 new in 2024), indicating a broad recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence that new organizations gain funding exists (16 new grantees in 2024) and the foundation publishes a submission route (written personal request to a named contact), but the process is informal and relationship-leaning rather than a public online application.
