Deadline: 7-Feb-22
The Assisi Foundation of Memphis is offering grants to nonprofits that build the organizational capacity of provider agencies, provide professional development, promote collaboration, and leverage local, state and federal resources.
The Foundation strives to strengthen the community’s educational well-being through programs that develop tools for life and focus on the awareness and importance of accepting social responsibilities.
Geographical Location
Your organization and program must be located in Shelby, Fayette and Tipton Counties in Tennessee; Crittenden County, Arkansas; or Desoto County, Mississippi.
Eligibility Criteria
Many worthwhile organizations and projects in the community need funding. However, to be considered for an Assisi Foundation grant, your organization and project must meet the eligibility requirements. Please review and consider before applying:
- IRS Status: Your organization must have tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code.
- Faith Non discrimination Policy: The Assisi Foundation of Memphis acknowledges and appreciates your statements of values and faith that guide the practices of your nonprofit and many other faith-based organizations. If, however, your organization precludes or prohibits individuals of a different faith from participation, or receiving services from your organization, and/or from serving on the staff or governing board of your organization, the Foundation asks that you seek funding from other sources. To clarify further, even if you have volunteers and employees, and serve clients from ALL faith traditions, if you have never had non-Christians on your Board and have no plans to select non-Christians to serve on the board, they ask you to seek funding from other sources.
- Schools and Education-Related Organizations: Requests are only eligible for The Foundation’s second quarter, which is the February deadline.
