This year, a record-setting 1,017 organizations, including 597 nonprofits from Davidson County, will be participating. Over the past 7 years, The Big Payback has helped raise nearly $21 million for local nonprofits, schools, and faith-based institutions.
The goal for 2021
“In 2021, Middle Tennesseans continue to face uncertainty that stems from multiple disasters and the aftermath; loss of homes, gigs, business, and health. The economic impact is unfolding. These disasters have forced hundreds of organizations to slow down or put their important work on hold at a time when we need them the most.” –The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee
