GrantID: 75069
Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This grant opportunity is offered locally, focusing on supporting nonprofit and community-oriented organizations within a specific region of East Tennessee, particularly around Kingsport. Its goal is to fund projects that strengthen the fabric of the community—programs that uplift health, education, arts, wellness, or general quality of life.
The funds are intended to assist nonprofit organizations with program expenses, project implementation, or community enhancement initiatives. Grant recipients may use the award for materials, staffing (project-specific), outreach, supplies, and related costs directly tied to the proposed effort. The intent is not to cover broad organizational overhead or unrelated ventures, but to support tangible community benefit.
Eligible applicants are typically registered nonprofit entities or equivalent organizations operating within the designated region. Occasionally, community groups or newer entities may apply through a fiscal sponsor, provided the sponsor meets eligibility criteria. This grant is not generally intended for businesses or individuals, and priority is often given to projects whose activities take place within the local service area or which visibly benefit that community.
Grant amounts generally vary, often depending on the project’s scale and budget. These amounts are modest to moderate, appropriate for local programming or community enhancements rather than large capital projects. The exact amount awarded is determined by fund availability and the strength of the proposal. In past years, local nonprofit initiatives have been funded with sums that reflect grassroots project scopes.
Applications are accepted on a cyclical basis, usually annually or semiannually. Prospective applicants should keep an eye on opening dates and submission windows specific to this fund’s schedule. When the application period is open, organizations submit a proposal outlining goals, budget, timeline, and how the project will serve the community. Awards are announced after review, and funding is typically distributed after formal approval.
Overall, this funding opportunity offers a practical path for local nonprofits to receive support for community projects in East Tennessee. If you’re working within the applicable region and have a project aiming to benefit public life—be it in health, arts, education, or general enrichment—this grant may align well with your needs.
Organizations and individuals based in Tennessee who are engaged in Community Development & Services may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
