Tennessee · Grantmakers
Imperigo has identified 96 funders that made 454 grants totaling $105.9M to 53 employment & job training organizations in Tennessee, with a median grant of $15K. Every figure below is drawn from IRS Form 990 filings through 2025.
Funders are ordered by how much of their overall giving goes to employment & job training work in Tennessee, not by dollar totals alone — a foundation that concentrates its giving here is usually a better prospect than a larger one for which this is a rounding error. 10 of the funders counted here are donor-advised fund sponsors, which grant on behalf of individual donors and accept no applications; they are marked and ranked last.
A grant appears here when a funder reported it on its IRS Form 990 and the recipient organization is classified under the NTEE group covering employment & job training work, with an address in Tennessee. Grants are counted from the 2025 filing year backward.
Some 990 grant schedules list a recipient by name and address without an EIN, and those grants cannot be matched to a classification — so the totals above represent identifiable employment & job training funding in Tennessee, not every dollar that reached the sector. Figures are a floor, not a ceiling.
