Impact100 Nashville awards grants to nonprofits in our community that address the focus area stipulated in our Eligibility Criteria. Eligible nonprofits may submit a Letter of Intent to apply for grant funding of up to $100,000. We recommend reading our eligibility criteria before proceeding.
Member volunteers review and score Letters of Intent based on 4 criteria before selecting a subset of organizations to complete a full grant application:
1. Overall mission, vision of organization
2. Meeting unique need in the community
3. Proposed use of grant dollars
4. Shows clear programming specific to the focus area identified each year.
Important Dates:
Jun 1 – Jun 30: Open Call for LOI Submissions
Aug 12 – Sep 13: Grant Applications Open for Selected Organizations
Oct 21 – Nov 8: Site Visits for Semi Finalists
Nov 19: Annual Voting Event
All stages of the grant review process are conducted entirely by current members of Impact100 Nashville.
Impact100 Nashville will award a grant up to $100,000 to a non-profit organization that seeks to make a significant impact in the Middle Tennessee community. Specifically, we are seeking to award this grant to a non-profit that offers creative and innovative services to its population and is able to show that the results of their services create a meaningful impact on the population it serves.
The Grants Committee ultimately selects two to three finalists to compete for each $100,000 grant at our Annual Meeting in the Fall.
