The Nashville Predators Foundation supports the Nashville and Middle Tennessee community through grants, programs and events focused on education, youth development, health initiatives and community engagement.
A defining thread in Nashville Predators Foundation grantmaking is its mix of pediatric health support, school-based services, and community programs tied to local family needs. One of its largest recent gifts went to Monroe Carell Jr Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt for pediatric rehabilitation and adaptive equipment transport, linking the foundation’s sports identity to direct support for children with medical needs. Another major line of funding has gone to Communities in Schools of Tennessee to place school-based site coordinators in MNPS schools, helping connect students with food, housing, healthcare, counseling, and technology. The foundation has also backed YWCA of Nashville & Middle Tn across multiple years for the Amend Together initiative, showing repeat support for the same community effort rather than one-time awards. Other grants have supported literacy, home repairs, foster care transitions, and youth mental health. The grant list also includes event-related support, in-kind assistance, and program support, which suggests a funding approach that blends direct service with community experiences and targeted operating help.
Education and youth development appear in several forms. The foundation gave $100,000 to Communities in Schools of Tennessee to support four MNPS schools with site coordinators who connect students to food, housing, healthcare, counseling, and technology. It also awarded $70,000 to Nashville Adult Literacy Council to fund a full-time position training tutors and learners for one-on-one sessions with new online tools and digital literacy support. Health funding is another clear lane. In 2025, Monroe Carell Jr Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt University Medical Cent received $271,083 for a pediatric rehabilitation project and to purchase a storage trailer for adaptive equipment used during Tri My Best Triathlon adaptive sports events. Community support also extends to housing stability and family services, including $100,000 to Westminster Home Connection for repairs and modifications for 30 older adults and people with disabilities.
Typical grants are relatively small, with a p25 of $6,515, a median of $8,284, and a p75 of $10,000. The recent list also shows a few much larger awards, indicating a layered approach that combines broad small grants with larger project support. Repeat grants are common: Monroe Carell Jr Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt appears in multiple years, and YWCA of Nashville & Middle Tn received awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation is structured around local grant programs and donation requests, and it includes both unsolicited and non-unsolicited routes depending on the program. It also funds in-kind support and event-linked giving alongside direct grants.

Giving is overwhelmingly local. Ninety-two percent of grants go to recipients in Tennessee, and the recipient country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. Nashville is the main hub, with additional grants in Hermitage, Franklin, Brentwood, Clarksville, and Nashville-area programs serving Middle Tennessee. A few grants also reached Washington, DC, and Colorado Springs, showing that most giving is local but not entirely confined to Nashville proper.
Its grantmaking supports education, youth development, health initiatives, scholarships, animal welfare and pet programs, and community events. Recent grants also show support for school-based services, literacy, home repairs and accessibility modifications, foster care transitions, and mental health services for LGBTQ+ youth.
Typical awards are modest: the p25 is $6,515, the median is $8,284, and the p75 is $10,000. The recent record also includes larger project grants, but most awards cluster around those smaller levels.
Yes. Monroe Carell Jr Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt appears in multiple recent years, and YWCA of Nashville & Middle Tn received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for the Amend Together initiative. That pattern shows repeat support for selected organizations and programs.
Yes. The Terry & Sheila Crisp Scholarship is listed as accepting unsolicited requests, and the Request a Donation mechanism also accepts unsolicited requests for local nonprofit organizations and community groups.
