Foundations that fund Tennessee
Private foundations rarely post open calls. Instead, look at who they already fund. Search by what you do, like “food pantry”, “library” or “youth sports”, to find foundations, here or in other states, that funded similar work in Tennessee. Or start from a group like yours: see who funded it.
