Building a Community with Hope


Community Partners / Federations

Community Health Charities of Tennessee and its members are working for a healthy Tennessee. One in four of our co-workers, family and friends are likely dealing with a chronic health condition as a patient or a caregiver. Our charities have local offices serving the Nashville community through medical research, support programs, financial assistance, educational materials and other patient services. It also is able to deliver credible health information and provide community focused volunteer activities.

Community Shares - "Building Social and Economic Equity and a Healthy Environment" is this federation's emphasis. It is dedicated to social change organizations in order to promote a more just and caring community. Member groups address a range of issues including animal welfare, unemployment, racism, domestic violence, child abuse prevention, pollution and supporting strong communities.

Nashville Public Education Foundation strives to ensure every child in Nashville has access to a great public education that prepares them fully for college, work and life. The group does that through raising and managing funds, making strategic investments, and bringing the community together behind needle-moving efforts to accelerate progress.

United Way of Metropolitan Nashville works to bring people and organizations together to create a community where individuals, families and neighborhoods thrive. It advances the common good by focusing on what it considers the building blocks for a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, good health and safe living conditions. Any eligible health and human services nonprofit organization may submit a proposal for United Way funding. These proposals undergo a rigorous approval process, and once funded, the programs are closely monitored by volunteers to ensure that the money is invested wisely and the programs get the best results.
