How should I submit my application?

Applications are submitted online through a platform called Submittable. Our Impact100 Nashville Submittable platform can be found here.

Can our organization submit applications in more than one Focus Area?

No, each organization may submit only one grant application per year and may not be considered for multiple grants.

The funding we need for our proposal is more than the grant Impact100 offers. Can we submit a proposal for more than the $100,000?

Yes. You will be able to identify the additional funding sources for your proposal on the form. Impact100 will not be able to fund any portion larger than $100,000, however.

The funding we need for our proposal is less than the grant Impact100 offers. Can we submit a proposal for less than the full amount?

No, applicants must plan to expend the full grant.

Will you consider a proposal from a group of organizations collaborating on a project or program?

Yes. One of the collaborating organizations must be the “lead organization,” applying on behalf of the collaboration. The lead organization must be willing to take on all the potential rights, responsibilities, restrictions, and liabilities of the grant if it is received.

Do you give grants to proposals that expend the funds over a period of years?

No, Impact100 seeks proposals that expend grant funds within 24 months.

Will the grant be paid in a lump sum?

Impact100 disburses the grant money as a one-time payment or as an installment payment, depending on what they deem to be the most fiscally responsible. A grant applicant may request either type of payment in the application.
