Foundation accepting proposals for Community Impact Grants

JACKSON, Tenn. — The Foundation is now accepting proposals from non-profits for Community Impact Grants, according to a news release.

The release says the organization plans to focus on projects that will benefit Madison County residents during the 2021-2022 fiscal year.

The Foundation plans to award $30,000 to one project, and additional projects may receive funding if additional funds are available, the release says.

Last year, the Foundation awarded $40,500 in grants to A Step Ahead Foundation, Arise 2 Read, Behavior Health Initiatives, Boys and Girls Club of Jackson, Madison Haywood Developmental Services, Regional Inter-Faith Association, Scarlet Rope Project and the Jackson Symphony.

“We are looking for projects both large and small that will make an impact on our community,” said Rebecca Creasy, Community Outreach Associate at The Foundation. “We hope the increased award will allow organizations in our community to dream big.”

Priorities will be given to projects that would improve the health and well-being of the community, though no specific focus area has been requested, the release says.

Proposals will be accepted through Friday, Feb. 26 at 4 p.m.
