Ideal Applicant
Small to mid‑sized Tennessee nonprofits (churches, libraries, community service organizations) seeking modest unrestricted or general operating support and with local ties or referrals to the board.
Good Fit
- • A local (Tennessee) organization with a demonstrable track record of community impact.
- • Request size in the $2.5k–$5k range or similar modest general operating support.
- • Existing introduction or referral to one of the named trustees or local community intermediaries.
- • Program alignment with past recipients such as libraries, faith‑based groups, and community service providers.
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated in Tennessee (all 2024 grants were in TN) but prior years included a few out‑of‑state grants, so the footprint is largely state‑level rather than strictly local or national.
Recipient Variety
Across three years the foundation funded multiple independent recipients (6–7 recipients in 2022–23 and 3 in 2024) across churches, libraries, universities and community groups, indicating a moderate spread of beneficiaries for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence is mixed: earlier years show several new grantees, but the funder explicitly marks support as only for preselected applicants and there is no public application path, so unfamiliar applicants may be able to access funding but likely via referral rather than open submission.
