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.




The Experts: Kelsea Comb, Special Projects Coordinator, Metro Office of Homeless Services; Ashley Hampton, Executive Director, Healing in the Margins; Amna Osman, Chief Executive Officer, Nashville CARES; Maxine Spencer, Co-Founder, Trans Aid Nashville
