Source: each funder's latest e-filed IRS return. Private foundations file Form 990-PF, which lists the grants they paid and how to apply. Community foundations, United Ways and other public charities file Form 990, and we use its Schedule I (grants over $5,000). We include every funder, wherever it is based, whose latest return lists grants to Tennessee groups. Corporate and community-foundation grant rounds are in the grant search.
