Tennessee organizations it funded
Largest first. Past winners are good people to ask what the foundation looks for. Select a group to see who else funds it.
Grants approved for future years
In its tax-year 2024 IRS Form 990-PF the foundation listed grants it had approved but not yet paid: 9 to Tennessee groups totaling $1,840, and 5 elsewhere. These are multi-year commitments, so they show what it has promised to keep funding. Some may have been paid since.
