Established in 2013


Chief Cares was established by Eric and Katherine Church in 2013 to impact lives and make a difference not only in the United States but throughout the world.

The Church’s charitable fund is administered by The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, a registered nonprofit that has connected generosity with need by distributing more than $1.2 billion over the past three decades.

Thus far, donations to Chief Cares have been utilized to provide support to underprivileged families and children throughout Tennessee and Eric’s home state of North Carolina. Internationally, gifts also have helped to supply beds and clothing to an orphanage in Nepal and create educational opportunities for children that otherwise would never have the chance to go to school; deliver bibles and aid to Haiti; provide operational financial assistance to the Humane Society’s no-kill animal shelters; and make an impact on additional causes close to Eric and Katherine’s hearts.

Thank you for your generosity and helping to provide the resources necessary to enable Chief Cares to continue giving to those who need it most. As a result of your support, more than $8 million has been granted to 100-plus charitable organizations around the world. With nearly a decade of giving to others in hopes of a brighter tomorrow through Chief Cares, we encourage you to be a part of our impact story for years to come!
