Your share in dollars

For a $2,000,000 grant you'd put in about $2,000,000 of your own money or donated help, for a total project of about $4,000,000.

Based on the funder's stated 50% applicant share. Some programs lower it for distressed counties or accept donated help.

Before you apply: Tennessee state agencies usually require you to be registered as a supplier in the state's Edison system before they can pay a grant. Ask the program contact, and register early. Get-ready checklist

About this grant

State cost share for local roads that connect to an interstate. TDOT pays 50% of the first $4 million of project cost; the local government pays the other 50% and everything above $4 million. Local STBG funds may count toward the local share. To apply, send the Commissioner a letter with the funding commitment, a project map, and a certified local resolution.
