Key takeaways

  • The filing says this foundation gives only to organisations it has preselected and accepts no unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered and organisations it has not invited should not send one.
  • No geographic focus is stated, and the filings show grants mainly in Tennessee and Georgia, so an organisation elsewhere need not rule itself out on location alone, though most recorded grant dollars have gone to Tennessee.
  • Where an approach is invited, a modest request fits best: about 8 in 10 of its 28 grants fall between $125,000 and $500,000, the median is $250,000, and across its recent filings half of its grants were $250,000 or less, although the largest grant was $525,000, so that band is typical rather than a ceiling.
  • Repeat support is a real feature, with 26% of its grant dollars in its most recent filing going to organisations it had also funded in the two previous filings, so building a relationship matters more than a single request.
  • The filings give no timing, eligibility criteria or grant strategy, so a small organisation should not assume a deadline or a set cycle.

Overview

Care Foundation of America Two Brentwood Commons is a US private foundation based in Brentwood, TN.

What they fund

Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.

Priority Areas

The filings show grants to a varied group of charitable organisations rather than a stated single field. Recipient types include educational and training bodies, cultural and science institutions, health services, a faith community organisation, and social and community organisations. The stated purposes are uniformly described as furthering exempt purposes, so the records do not set out more specific funded activities, eligibility criteria or a grant strategy. Most of the recorded grant dollars went to organisations in Tennessee. The filing says contributions go only to preselected charitable organisations and unsolicited requests are not accepted.

Geographic Focus
