The Foundation's unique role in the community places it in an ideal position to convene school administrators, teachers, and community organizations sharing a common interest in the education and well-being of children in Nashville. Through this role as convener, the Foundation has created many new opportunities for the schools to develop effective long-term relationships with others in the community to address a wide range of issues which are an outgrowth of the Foundation's programming initiatives. A significant donation by Annette S. Eskind, a former member of the Metropolitan Nashville Board of Education, created an endowment fund which supports the hallmark program of the Foundation, Mini-Grants for Teachers. All other projects and initiatives are funded through donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations committed to the goal of quality education for all children in Nashville. Donations are actively sought in order to expand the Foundation's programming capabilities.
All donations are tax deductible.
