Ideal Applicant
A small-to-mid regional nonprofit, often faith-based or community-oriented (education, youth services), with local credibility and the ability to be introduced through existing trustees, grantees, or intermediaries.
Good Fit
- • Programs aligned with religious, community, youth, or education missions.
- • Located in Tennessee or the surrounding region, or connected to local partners there.
- • Existing relationship or warm introduction to a trustee, past grantee, or intermediary.
- • Track record of local impact and capacity to absorb multi-thousand-dollar grants.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year covered three states and is regionally focused; by count most recipients are in Tennessee, but a single large out-of-state grant caused another state to dominate the dollar share.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 12 distinct independent recipients and the foundation added many new grantees that year, showing a moderate spread across religious, community, and education organizations despite some dollar concentration in a few awards.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows many new grantees were added (ten new recipients in the latest year), indicating the foundation will fund unfamiliar organizations, but application notes specify preselection only and there is no public submission route, so entry appears invitation- or referral-driven rather than open.
