the big payback returns
The annual giving day The Big Payback is returning on Wednesday, May 5! The fun starts at 6:00 PM and continues until 6:00 PM on May 6.
The Community Resource Center is excited to participate and join in on the fundraising event that unites Middle Tennessee each year. The Big Payback, hosted by The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, is a community-wide giving day which shines a spotlight on LOCAL giving and motivates Middle Tennessee to “give back” to nonprofits in a big way.
This 24-hour online giving event helps organizations – like the CRC – raise funds and bring awareness to pressing needs in our community. It’s also the prime time of year to give, because every gift you make could be boosted by cash prizes. It’s clear to see the impact of The Big Payback.
From 2014 through 2020, Middle Tennesseans have come together to raise nearly $21 million from a total of 147,642 donations for more than 1,000 nonprofits, schools, and religious institutions.
In 2021, we are setting our sights on reaching $10,000 raised during the giving day.
Thank YOU for your support!

MDHA
I volunteered to help unload kits and had an amazing day. It was so wonderful to see the residents come down and interact with the social workers as they picked up their kits. The gratitude and human kindness I witnessed yesterday will sustain me for a long time. It makes me proud to work for MDHA and grateful to have such incredible and generous partners like Community Resource Center and the Frist Foundation.

Partnering with CRC has been one of our greatest partnerships. When Covid 19 shut everything down 7 months ago, CRC came to our rescue. FiftyForward Bordeaux was able to pick up FREE items to share with members. The items became a lifeline for our members.
