Eligibility Criteria
Please review and consider before applying:
- IRS Status:
- Your organization must have tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code.
- Faith nondiscrimination policy:
- The Assisi Foundation of Memphis acknowledges and appreciates your statements of values and faith that guide the practices of your nonprofit and many other faith-based organizations. If, however, your organization precludes or prohibits individuals of a different faith from participation, or receiving services from your organization, and/or from serving on the staff or governing board of your organization, the Foundation asks that you seek funding from other sources. To clarify further, even if you have volunteers and employees, and serve clients from ALL faith traditions, if you have never had non-Christians on your Board and have no plans to select non-Christians to serve on the board, they ask you to seek funding from other sources.
