Summary

This grant program offers over $3 million in total awards, from a fund that supports law‑related public benefit efforts across Tennessee. The funding is made available annually to organizations that help expand access to legal services and justice for low‑income, vulnerable, or underserved populations.


Eligible entities are nonprofit, tax‑exempt organizations (under Section 501(c)(3)), though faith‑based groups may apply if their proposed uses are non‑religious. Individuals are not the direct focus, except perhaps through scholarship or education components; the emphasis is really on groups doing legal, housing, mediation, or advocacy work.


Awarded projects include those providing civil legal representation, mediation or dispute‑resolution services, housing advocacy, and support for survivors of domestic violence. Applicants must demonstrate that their project improves justice administration, helps people who can’t afford legal help, or educating or supporting future legal professionals.


Applicants should have a clear plan: how the funds will be used, what outcomes are expected, and how to sustain or scale up. There’s also an expectation of reporting and accountability — showing actual results, keeping financials transparent, and cooperating with evaluation.


In past cycles, dozens of organizations across Tennessee have received funding—new and repeat grantees alike—so there’s good opportunity for both experienced groups and those just starting out. The deadline is set annually (recently in late September), and the amount you request should be reasonable and aligned with what similar projects have received.


Those working in Housing and located in Tennessee may meet the eligibility criteria for this grant. To browse other funding opportunities suited to your focus areas, visit The Grant Portal and try the Search Grant tool.
