The mission of Tennessee Nonprofit Network (TNN) is to build the momentum of the nonprofit sector in Tennessee to drive equitable, measurable, and lasting change.

Central to our programming is our work in leading community initiatives, expanding sector research, convening community conversations and events, and working alongside community partners to advance public policy work impacting our sector. We believe that strengthening nonprofit organizations and the nonprofit sector is a conduit for influencing broader societal change and must include an emphasis on increasing equity and accountability throughout the sector.

We envision a nonprofit workforce where individuals are reaching their maximum potential and are motivated to continue to work for the greater good. Our vision is for the nonprofit sector to form equitable partnerships with philanthropy, business, and government sectors in united efforts to solve community challenges.

Tennessee Nonprofit Network recognizes that our people are our most valuable asset. Our capacity for growth and creating impact is dependent on shared trust, respect, and professionalism.
