Your share in dollars

For a $12,000 grant you'd put in about $12,000 of your own money or donated help, for a total project of about $24,000.

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
