The thirty-six-year-old Maddox Foundation was formed by long-time Nashville philanthropists Margaret and Dan Maddox who died tragically in a boating accident in 1998.

Since the late nineties, it has given $197 million to organizations throughout the region, benefiting non-profits committed to health, welfare and education of youth.
The Maddox Foundation created a Donor-Advised Fund in 2002 to assist with its support for Tennessee charities.

We are proud to assist them in fulfilling their important missions.”
