Additional Funding Sources 

Metro Nashville Funding







Other Funding Sources

We are only asking to share additional funding information if you are applying it towards the same number of youths that you propose to serve through your NAZA funding.


Example: If an organization receives $40,000 from NAZA to serve 30 students and also receives $30,000 from another funder to serve the same 30 youth, then that $30,000 will need to be included in the budget proposal and the source need to be identified.

 

If that additional $30,000 will be allocated to additional 20 youth, then that information does not need to be included.
