Helper Grants

About this program

The Nashville Predators Foundation offers annual Helper Grants to local charities for specific projects, durable goods, and one-time programs benefiting youth and their families in Nashville and Middle Tennessee. Awards range from $500 to $10,000, with priority given to organizations with operating budgets below $2 million and those seeking broader partnership with the Foundation. Eligible applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations or government agencies serving the region, may submit only one application, and must provide a detailed, itemized project budget. The 2027 cycle opens October 1, 2026, and applications are due by midnight on January 8, 2027; general operating costs, salaries, capital campaigns, fundraising, and grants to individuals are ineligible.
