We build the momentum of the nonprofit sector in Tennessee to create equitable, measurable, and lasting change.


Our Vision

We work towards a future in Tennessee where:

  • Nonprofits have an equal seat at the table alongside government, businesses, and philanthropy and we are united to solve community problems.

  • Nonprofits are effective and sustainable.

  • Nonprofits have broad representation at the local, state, and federal level.

  • A high-quality nonprofit workforce is the norm — where individuals are reaching their maximum potential and are motivated to continue to work for the greater good.
