Thank you for your interest in AutoZone’s grant program.
AutoZone’s Grant Programs are designed to support designated 501(c)3 organizations in the Memphis area that align with our strategic giving pillars (Arts, Health/Wellness, Education/Youth Development and Community Development).
AutoZone invests in the Memphis community through three primary grant types:
AutoZone Greater Memphis Area Grant Types:
- Project/Program Grants: Support for specific projects or programs that directly align with our strategic giving pillars. AutoZone generally does not provide funding for events or general operating support.
- Capital Campaign Grants: Limited support for capital efforts including facility construction, property renovation, equipment purchases, or endowment components associated with a capital campaign.
- ArtsZone Grants: Managed in partnership with ARTSmemphis, these grants support arts organizations in the Greater Memphis area. Arts organizations must apply through the ArtsZone grant application process.
Exception: Arts organizations seeking capital campaign funding should apply through AutoZone’s standard capital campaign process.
