The Big Payback 2023: A Decade of Giving

A message from The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee

The Big Payback's 10th annual giving day event is scheduled to kick off at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 9, 2023.

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.

Let's come together online at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 9 through 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 10 and support the organizations dedicated to making Middle Tennessee vibrant.
