The Louie M. & Betty M. Phillips Foundation supports various organizations in health, human services, civic affairs, education, and the arts, with a focus on the greater Nashville community. Grants are generally awarded in the range of $1,000-$5,000 for general operating support, programming, or specific projects. Deadlines for submissions are the last business days of May and October, with decisions made at semi-annual meetings in June and November. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, particularly those with long-standing relationships with the foundation.
The foundation funds sustaining operating support, project and program-specific funding, and capital projects, though it is not currently accepting multi-year grant requests. Priority is given to organizations previously supported by the founders, and proposals are reviewed based on service type, client reach, financial stability, and overall need. Applications are submitted electronically, with a two-page proposal and supporting documents if required.
Grant renewed every year.
