Official applicant-level cap $10,000 per table; application acceptance indicated without a fixed deadline. Applicant types private or municipal Tennessee entities, installation in public facility, equipment and restroom accessibility requirements.

Tennessee Department of Disability and Aging Adult Changing Tables Grant provides applicant-facing financial assistance to private and municipal entities installing powered, height-adjustable adult changing tables in facilities open to the public throughout Tennessee. The goal is greater restroom accessibility for people with disabilities and older adults and their caregivers. An applicant may request up to $10,000 per table, including reasonable approved renovation costs associated with installation. The department states that a previous $5,000 cap was increased to $10,000 per table.
Eligible applicants and facilities: private or municipal entities located in Tennessee, with a proposed installation site that is open to the public in Tennessee. Examples include parks, recreation centers, malls, restaurants, and other publicly accessible spaces. The installation should use a powered, height-adjustable adult-size table in a single-occupancy, gender-universal public restroom, with an adequately sized room, wheelchair turning space and clear signage. The department provides more precise dimensional and equipment requirements on its official program page.
Funding and timing: The department is currently accepting applications and does not publish a current fixed closing date or cutoff time on its program page. No universal applicant matching percentage or reimbursement timetable is stated in the current public instructions; applicants should confirm award and payment terms directly with DDA. The state’s previously authorized $1 million program budget is an overall initiative amount and is not the amount of an individual applicant award.
Application: Complete the department’s linked Adult Changing Table application. Be ready to provide the organization name and contact, a Tennessee Edison ID or W-9, proposed installation site, expected cost breakdown, and estimated completion schedule. The department may request follow-up information. Review the official equipment requirements and application portal before committing expenditures; grant eligibility and a submitted application are not evidence of an award. This is a public accessibility grant to eligible facilities, not a solicitation for government purchase of equipment.
