The TMAA Philanthropic Fund was established by the Board of Directors of the TMAA in 2006 with a mission to improve the health of Tennessee’s communities by promoting health education and supporting community service efforts across the state in meeting health care needs.
The Philanthropic Fund may receive tax-deductible contributions for qualifying projects and for sponsoring activities to raise monies to be used exclusively for charitable, scientific, safety and literary or educational purposes. The fund oversees the consideration and distribution of health promotions grants.
The TMAA Philanthropic Fund Health Grants provide funds to AIMs and county alliances so they may implement/support a program inspired by a recognized need in their area. Grants may also fund TMAA statewide Health Promotions projects. These proposed projects should be executed with the intent to build healthier communities and raise public awareness of the TMAA. Specific ideas and proposals may be submitted for review and consideration by the Philanthropic Board. Grants will be awarded in amounts up to $500 per application and will be awarded quarterly in March, June, September, and December.
