Ideal Applicant
A Memphis/Tennessee nonprofit delivering program support for women age 55+ or related senior services (dementia care, senior housing, legal aid) seeking mid-size grants.
Good Fit
- • Primary programs serving older women or seniors in Memphis/TN or the Mid‑South
- • Requests for program support with clear budgets and outcomes
- • Capacity to manage grants in the approximate $25K–$200K range
- • Local credibility, partnerships, or introductions to foundation contacts
- • Track record of serving the foundation’s target populations (women 55+)
Geography
Observed grants are overwhelmingly concentrated in Tennessee (about 97% of dollars) with only occasional out‑of‑state awards, indicating a local Memphis/Mid‑South footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 13 distinct recipients (13 grants) and the prior year 11 recipients, with a mix of independent charities and several repeat grantees, demonstrating a relatively broad recipient set for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows seven new recipients in 2024 and a public online application portal exists, but the foundation also declares it only considers preselected applicants and funding is concentrated among several larger grantees, so unsolicited entry appears possible but selective.
