What Do We Fund?
What We Do Not Fund
Foundation grants are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors, which consists of individuals from the Nashville community and team representatives. All applicants are notified in late April via email and funding is distributed by early May. For this reason, we do not accept requests for funding projects in April or May of that year. It is however acceptable to request funding for a project in April or May of the following year. If funding needs change after grant is approved, please contact us. All grant recipients must submit a midyear and final report by the preset deadline.
Click here to view your application and submit your midyear and final report.
All funding must be used by Feb. 28, 2025 (unless a special request is submitted). Reports are available to view and submit on the grant application site prior to the deadline.

In 2022 the Preds Foundation renamed their grants program to Helper Grants empowered by SmileDirectClub after former Preds Senior VP & Advisor Gerry Helper. Helper retired after 40-plus years in the NHL, including 24 with Nashville, where he ended his career as Preds Foundation Chairman of the Board.
Every summer, the Foundation visits some of the Helper Grant recipients to see the grants in action! Check out the stories of how local organizations have been able to utilize the grants and keep up with our visits at the link below.
