Ideal Applicant
A registered charitable nonprofit—typically small or mid-sized—working on community-level human services, health, youth development, veterans support, or local community development in Tennessee or nearby states.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a 501(c)(3) or comparable charity and can provide EIN and IRS exemption letter.
- • Work is focused in Tennessee (particularly Clarksville, Memphis) or Winston‑Salem area in North Carolina.
- • Asks align with typical grant sizes observed (roughly $2,000–$25,000).
- • Proposals are for direct service, local community programs, or health and human services.
- • Able to apply through the CyberGrants portal and complete the eligibility quiz.
Geography
Observed giving is regionally focused: the latest year shows grants across five states but a clear dominance of Tennessee (59% of dollars), indicating a primarily regional footprint rather than truly national reach.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 21 distinct recipients with 16 new grantees, and across three years the foundation has funded dozens of independent nonprofits, showing a broad and diverse recipient set for its size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of accessibility and turnover supports openness: a public CyberGrants application and eligibility quiz exist, and 16 of 21 recipients in the latest year were new, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
