Henry Education & Entrepreneurship Foundation Incorporated
The Henry Foundation website (henryfoundationus.org) presents a scholarship-focused private foundation led by members of the Henry family and lists a leadership/team page. The site describes partnerships with the University of Tennessee and Middle Tennessee State University and provides a scholarship inquiry/contact form. It does not present a clear online application or detailed grant guidelines.

Ideal Applicant
Organizations focused on scholarships, college/university programs, or education-focused nonprofits seeking modest one-off awards or scholarship support.
Good Fit
- • Request is explicitly for scholarships or direct student support.
- • Applicant is a university, college, school, or a scholarship fund with clear use of funds.
- • Request fits the foundation’s typical award size (mostly below $5K, with occasional larger scholarships).
- • Ability to follow the foundation’s contact form / PDF instructions and provide targeted scholarship documentation.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to recipients in eight different states, with substantial out-of-state giving and a multi-state footprint despite a single state receiving a large share of dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 19 distinct recipients and 13 new grantees, and across three years there are multiple independent beneficiaries and six repeat recipients, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set despite dollar concentration among a few.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes a public website with a contact form, a listed phone number and mailing address for applications, and a pattern of many new recipients (13 new in the latest year), which together suggest unfamiliar applicants can realistically access funding.
