Support the Education Foundation during the Big Payback!

THE CMC EDUCATION FOUNDATION IS PARTICIPATING IN THE BIG PAYBACK.

CLICK HERE ON MAY 3 TO DONATE TO THE CMC EDUCATION FOUNDATION!

The Big Payback is back on May 3, 2016, and the CMC Education Foundation is
excited for another year of participation in this monumental charitable event!

The Big Payback, hosted by The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, is
a 24-hour, community-wide, online giving day that celebrates Middle Tennessee’s
spirit of generosity and supports the life-changing work of area nonprofits. The
Big Payback helps organizations, like the Education Foundation, raise much needed
funds while bringing awareness to pressing needs in our communities.

Donations made during The Big Payback are amplified by incentives and awards
made possible through sponsors, which may help us to qualify for prizes and
bonuses through the day.

The Big Payback has seen remarkable growth from its inaugural event in 2014.
In year one, Middle Tennessee came together to raise $1,492,492.50 for 525
participating nonprofits. More than 11,600 gifts were made to organizations
focused on health and human services, animal welfare, the arts and more. In 2015,
donations increased to more than $2.65 million helping to support 770 Middle
Tennessee nonprofits.

We hope you’ll support the Education Foundation and our mission of Bringing the Vision of student success to Reality on Tuesday, May 3 during The Big Payback.
