Building a More Inclusive Future: Nonprofits Serving the LGBTQ+ Community in Middle Tennessee

Join us for a lunchtime forum where donors and changemakers will explore the challenges and opportunities facing nonprofits that serve LGBTQ+ individuals across Middle Tennessee. Together, we’ll talk about what the data tells us, hear from local leaders, and discover ways to build a more inclusive community.

Why It Matters: This conversation goes beyond individual issues. We will explore the need for connection, inclusion, autonomy, and opportunity — those fundamental components of social capital that help communities thrive. You’ll hear from local leaders working at the intersection of advocacy and direct service, and you’ll leave with a better understanding of how your philanthropy can directly strengthen and build a more supportive community.
