The Big Payback is a community-wide online giving day designed to give the public the opportunity to pay back the nonprofits that make this a place we are proud to call home. The annual 24-hour celebration raises money and awareness for more than 1,000 area nonprofits, schools, and faith-based institutions.
Together, since 2014, we have cumulatively raised more than $29 million, with a total of 206,338 donations from around the globe benefiting Middle Tennessee organizations.
