The Frist Foundation carries the legacy of Dr. Thomas F. Frist Jr., whose goal has always been to make people’s lives “just a little bit better.” They invest in promising organizations with high ambitions of improving communities across Nashville.
The Frist Foundation’s grant program aims to sustain and improve the quality of life in Nashville, Tennessee. Our foundation takes special interest in agencies that serve Nashville’s communities facing challenges and those doing collaborative community work. The Frist Foundation partners with agencies in following focus areas: Arts & Culture, Civic, Food Insecurities, Health Disparities, Human Services, Immigrants & Refugees, Nonprofit Infrastructure, and Unhoused Neighbors.
The technology grant program is designed to help agencies work differently and more effectively using technology. In a rapidly changing environment, we see technology as integral to agency collaboration, data collection, workflow and improving the level of service to clients.
