Preservation Month
Preservation Month
May is Preservation Month and at the Heritage Foundation, we are making every effort this month to raise awareness about the places that matter in Williamson County. Everyone has places that are important to them. Places they care about. Places that matter. This Place Matters is a national campaign that encourages people to celebrate the places that are meaningful to them and to their communities. It’s about telling the stories of the places we can’t live without. Through This Place Matters, we hope to encourage and inspire an ongoing dialogue about the importance of place and preservation in all our lives. In honor of Preservation Month, we hope that you will join us at one or many of our Preservation Month events. Without your help, we would not be able to save the places that matter. Thank you so much for your ongoing support.
THE BIG PAYBACK
What Is The Big Payback?
The Big Payback annual giving day is returning on Thursday, May 2, and the Heritage Foundation is excited to take part in this monumental event.
The Big Payback, hosted by The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, is a community-wide giving day that celebrates Middle Tennessee’s spirit of generosity and supports the life-changing work of area nonprofits.
Kicking off at midnight on Thursday, May 2, the 24-hour online giving day helps organizations, like the Heritage Foundation, raise much-needed funds and bring awareness to pressing needs in our community.
Gifts made to participating organizations during The Big Payback are amplified by incentives and awards and may help us qualify for special prizes and bonuses throughout the day.
Since its inception in 2014, Middle Tennessee’s annual day of giving has raised more than $12.5 million for nearly 1,000 area nonprofits, including schools and religious institutions. Participating organizations have received gifts from 24,716 NEW donors we may have not otherwise reached.
We hope you’ll support the Heritage Foundation and our mission to preserve the places that matter in Williamson County on Thursday, May 2 during The Big Payback.
