AHB Foundation

• The foundation makes grants to 501(c)(3) organisations and gives preference to organisations in the East Tennessee area, so check your location before applying.
• Most of its grants fall between $2,500 and $45,000, with a median of $8,000, so a modest request fits its usual pattern.
• A large share of its grant dollars has gone to organisations it had already funded, with 68% of its grant dollars to organisations in the filing going to repeat recipients, so building a relationship with the foundation matters.
• Send a written request stating the amount and purpose, with the most recent audited financial statements and a copy of the tax-exempt ruling, by May 31 or November 30, and do not apply if you are not a 501(c)(3) organisation.
