Nonprofits
play an essential role across the region – in healthcare, the arts, the
environment, education, animal welfare and social services, to name just a few
causes and needs. In today’s economic environment, these organizations need to
accomplish much more with much less.
To celebrate
Middle Tennessee’s spirit of generosity and “payback” the work of nonprofits,
The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee is bringing back its initiative The Big Payback for the third straight
year.
The Big Payback, a 24-hour
online giving event, highlights nonprofit organizations' great work and inspires
community-wide giving. Starting at midnight on Tuesday, May
3, 2016 – tonight! – donors have 24 hours to make gifts at TheBigPayback.org to 770 participating
nonprofits, including schools and religious institutions, which are located in
or provide services in the 40 counties of Middle Tennessee.
Gifts can
be given to multiple nonprofits and be of any size, from $10 and up.
The Brentwood Woman’s Club, one of many clubs
in the General Federation of Women’s Clubs International (GFWC) is celebrating
its 43rd year of service to the community this year. A few examples of the ways this club has
impacted our community: built the first
public playground on Concord Road; rehabbed a house for the first Brentwood
Library; supported youth arts and education with scholarships and writing
contests; supported conservation and beautification by “an adopt-a-mile”,
installed a butterfly garden at Owens’ Chapel, promoted recycling at Carnton
events and in Leipers Fork with a recycling station; promoted an informed
electorate with election forums for the Brentwood City Commissioners elections;
collaborated with the Rotary Club to finance the building of a convenience
trailer for emergency personnel responding to local disasters; promoting
domestic violence and sex-trafficking awareness and prevention; and supporting
BRIDGES, GraceWorks, CASA, the Davis House, Owls’Hill, and veterans’ groups
with monies generated by fund-raisers.
