Your share in dollars

For a $30,000 grant you'd put in about $7,500 of your own money or donated help, for a total project of about $37,500.

Based on the funder's stated 20% applicant share. Some programs lower it for distressed counties or accept in-kind help. The notice has the exact rule.

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. Grant-ready checklist
