Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Donor-advised distributions to Nashville-area nonprofits across all sectors
Private K-12 schools and independent academies in Middle Tennessee
Nashville performing arts: symphony, ballet, opera, theatre, TPAC
Tornado and hurricane recovery, rebuilds, disaster case management
Affordable housing and civic infrastructure in Davidson County
Churches, congregations, and faith-based ministries
Vanderbilt University and VUMC: chairs, scholarships, cancer and equipment

Typical grant

Median grant is $10,000 with the middle half between $6,000 and $25,000, so this is overwhelmingly a mid-four-figure to low-five-figure funder. The seven-figure checks go to named institutional commitments: a $19.5M affordable housing fund, $4.5M to Montgomery Bell Academy, $2M to Austin Peay, endowed chairs and scholarships at Vanderbilt. Repeat giving is heavy, with the Nashville Symphony, Hillsboro Presbyterian, United Way of Greater Nashville, and Tall Timbers Research appearing multiple times in a single year.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“FOR GENERAL SUPPORT”
“FOR UNDESIGNATED SUPPORT”
“TO ASSIST WITH REPAIR/REBUILD NEEDED FOLLOWING DIRECT IMPACT FROM THE MARCH 2020 TORNADO”
“ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION”
“WITH LOVE AND SUPPORT FROM”
“CAPITAL AND ENDOWMENT SUPPORT”

Positioning adjacent work

This is a community foundation moving donor-advised money. Identify and cultivate the individual fundholder, not the foundation staff.
Ask $10,000 to $25,000 for a first gift. Six figures follows an existing donor relationship, not a cold pitch.
Connect research to their funded themes: disaster recovery in Middle Tennessee, VUMC cancer and medical equipment, affordable housing.
Accept general operating framing. Many grants say only 'general support' or 'undesignated,' so heavy restriction language is unnecessary.

Worth knowing: Roughly 77 percent of recipients are in Tennessee, concentrated in Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, and Clarksville, and out-of-state grants almost always trace to a specific donor's interest rather than an institutional priority. Several funds are celebrity-driven (Taylor Swift Charitable Fund, Jelly Roll and the Buddy DeFord Fund, Hickman Holler), so the giving is relationship-driven and the real decision-maker is the fundholder.
