Thank you for your interest in profiling your nonprofit organization on GivingMatters.com!

Before submitting a request, please note that GivingMatters.com is an online self-entry process. A GivingMatters.com staff member will review your request. When all necessary documents are received, GivingMatters.com will initiate your profile, and you will be issued a username and password via email, along with instructions to begin building your nonprofit profile.

*Please note that while a current GivingMatters.com profile is a requirement for many funding opportunities, the profile does not replace any grant applications. To be eligible for funding opportunities, organizations must still complete all other grant application requirements.*

Organizations profiled on GivingMatters.com must meet the following criteria:

Nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status.
Reside in or serve the Middle Tennessee area.

Communities of faith, public schools, and governmental organizations are not eligible to be profiled, although PTO organizations, fundraising bodies, and some programs operated through communities of faith are eligible. If you are unsure about your organization's eligibility, please contact us.

Once a profile is created, information and financial documents may be updated as often as desired, with a minimum of once a year.
