Deadline: 11-May-22
The Assisi Foundation of Memphis, Inc. is seeking applications for its Grant Program to serve nonprofit organizations that work to improve Memphis and the Mid-South.
Focus Areas: They focus on areas such as health and human services, education and lifelong learning, social justice and ethics, cultural enrichment and the arts, and community enhancement.
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 their 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 Nondiscrimination 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.
