Ideal Applicant
Local Tennessee-based organizations (often faith-based, schools, or small community service providers) seeking one-time or occasional organizational support or disaster/individual aid and with local connections or referrals.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in Tennessee or serves Tennessee communities.
- • Request aligns with education, faith-based programming, community assistance, or disaster/relief support.
- • Asks for a one-time operational or program grant sized in the low-to-mid five-figure range or modest unrestricted support.
- • Has a local referral, board-level connection, or prior relationship to community leaders the foundation knows.
Geography
In the latest year all grants were made in Tennessee; the prior year was also overwhelmingly Tennessee with only a small out-of-state exception.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded six distinct recipients in the latest year and eight the prior year, indicating a moderate spread of independent local recipients for a microfoundation despite dollar concentration in a few larger awards.
New Applicants
Observed grants in each year went to new recipients and no repeat grantees were recorded, which suggests turnover, but the foundation states it funds only preselected applicants and has no public application route, so openness to unfamiliar applicants cannot be confirmed.
