3. Proposed use of grant dollars
4. Shows clear programming specific to the focus area identified each year.

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 end the cycle of any debilitating condition — homelessness, poverty, addiction, hunger, illiteracy, human trafficking, recidivism, etc. Specifically we are seeking to award this grant to the non-profit that offers creative and innovative services to its population to facilitate the transition out of a cyclical lifestyle and is able to show that results of their services ended the cycle for the population it serves.
The Grants Committee ultimately selects two to three finalists to compete for the $100,000 grant at our Annual Meeting.
