Why The Big Payback Means More This Year


The Big Payback, a 24-hour giving day, has had an instrumental impact on the Middle Tennessee nonprofit community. Over the past six years, The Big Payback has cumulatively raised nearly $17 million, with a total of 115,890 donations for area schools, religious institutions and charities working hard to make a difference. The Big Payback begins at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 6 and runs through 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 7.

This year's Big Payback feels different. This year, it is more important than ever to support the Middle Tennessee nonprofit community. Many Middle Tennesseans face uncertainty from recent events including the March 14 tornado and the COVID-19 pandemic. These disasters have forced many nonprofit organizations to slow down or put their important work on hold at a time when the community needs them most.

Nashville has proven time and time again that we are #NashvilleStrong. Show your support by donating to local nonprofits during The Big Payback!
