HW Durham Foundation Grantmaking Program
Who can apply: Applicants must be charitable organizations with a current 501(c)(3) exemption or equivalent. Grants generally support projects serving older people primarily in Memphis, Tennessee and the Mid-South, and the Foundation states that funding is limited to projects within roughly 100 miles of Memphis. The Foundation does not make grants to individuals. Projects of national significance that could be replicated in the area may be considered. Funding is generally not provided for building or construction expenses, operating expenses of established agencies including salaries, endowment campaigns or fund drives, scholarships except through an established program for senior students, biomedical research, or organizations that discriminate based on age, race, color, creed, or sex.
Deadline: March 1 for consideration at the April board meeting and September 1 for consideration at the October board meeting, or the first working day after those dates. LOIs are accepted at any time.
