The Mid‑South Aging Commission, on behalf of Shelby County, is soliciting proposals to provide senior‑center operations and Title III‑D disease‑prevention/health‑promotion services to older adults in Fayette, Lauderdale, Shelby, and Tipton counties. Applicants may be non‑profit, community‑based organizations; they need at least one year of relevant program experience and must be able to meet a 10 % local match for federal funds or a 50 % local match for state funds. The award amount is uncapped and will depend on the state grant allocation. Key administrative requirements include three recent client references, a description of organizational ethics, and compliance with Tennessee’s E‑Verify requirements. • Eligible entities: non‑profits (senior‑center‑type or pure Title III‑D providers) with ≥1 year experience. • Mandatory documentation: ethical‑conduct statement, ≥3 client references, E‑Verify registration, and ability to provide the required local match. • Funding: No maximum request; award size tied to state grant pool; matching‑fund obligations differ by federal vs. state dollars.
