Nashville, TN (May 18, 2026) – The Rosendin Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to positively impacting communities and empowering individuals, is now accepting grant applications from qualifying nonprofit organizations in the Nashville metropolitan area.

For the 2026 grant cycle, eligible 501(c)(3) organizations serving Nashville, Davidson County, Murfreesboro, Franklin and surrounding communities (or up to 100 miles from Mt. Juliet) may apply for grants ranging from $2,500 to $100,000. Funding will support programs aligned with The Rosendin Foundation’s mission, with priority given to organizations advancing emotional and mental health, occupational health and safety, and nutritional health.

Applications must be submitted by Friday, May 29, to be considered for the 2026 cycle. Grant applications will be reviewed through the summer with grantees being notified in September 2026.

For 2026, The Rosendin Foundation plans to distribute at least $2.5 million to nonprofit organizations in select regions across the country. Grants may support a wide range of community needs, including mental health counseling, workforce development, veteran services, food access, shelters, crisis response, youth trade skills programs and other initiatives that strengthen individual and community well-being.

“Expanding our grantmaking to the Nashville area is both a strategic and heartfelt step for The Rosendin Foundation as it allows us to invest in organizations already doing meaningful community-centered work,” said Chandra Stewart, Executive Director of The Rosendin Foundation. “As Rosendin’s presence grows in Tennessee, so does our responsibility to invest with care in the communities where our employee-owners live and work. These grants are designed to meet organizations where they are, whether they are a grassroots nonprofit serving a specific neighborhood or a larger agency addressing complex regional needs. Our goal is to be a thoughtful partner in helping people and communities thrive.”

The Rosendin Foundation supports nonprofit organizations of many sizes, from large regional agencies to smaller community-based groups. Recipient organizations must be located in or near regions where The Rosendin Foundation’s donors live and work, including the Nashville metropolitan area.

“As The Rosendin Foundation continues to mature, our grantmaking must remain intentional, disciplined and aligned with the communities connected to Rosendin’s national footprint,” said Hank Brasch, Board Chair of The Rosendin Foundation and Chief Administrative Officer of Rosendin Electric. “Including Nashville-area nonprofits in the 2026 grant cycle reflects responsible stewardship of the Foundation’s growth and our commitment to investing charitable resources where our employee-owners are helping build the future.”

The Rosendin Foundation was formed in 2020 as the charitable arm of Rosendin Holdings, centralizing the company’s commitment to community giving through fundraising and donations from employees of Rosendin Electric and Modular Power Solutions. Since its inception, The Rosendin Foundation has distributed more than $6.7 million to nearly 500 nonprofit organizations nationwide.

Through its grantmaking, volunteerism and community partnerships, The Rosendin Foundation continues to grow alongside Rosendin’s national footprint, strengthening connections between the company, its employee-owners and the communities where they live and work.
