Ways to Give

Four Reasons to Donate

You invest in our local economy. Nashville State grads enter Middle Tennessee's workforce with the specific skills and training to help businesses grow, as well as attract new ones to the area.
You level the playing field. When you help meet the unique and immediate needs of non-traditional students, you help put college graduation within reach for anyone with a desire to succeed – regardless of their economic status.
You impact quality of life in our community. A degree or technical certificate creates a ripple effect of increased earning potential, economic contribution, community involvement, and new opportunities for generations to come.
You make an immediate difference. Because NSCCF's critical needs differ in scope from those of traditional higher ed institutions, every dollar of support for our programs and students goes further, faster.

Our Mission

The Nashville State Community College Foundation’s work — to provide quality education, remove financial barriers, and empower students at Nashville State to achieve their dreams for a brighter future — is in service of the College’s mission to provide comprehensive educational programs and partnerships, exemplary services, an accessible, progressive learning environment, and responsible leadership to improve the quality of life for the community we serve.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every student who enrolls at Nashville State has access to a comprehensive system of supportive resources that removes all potential barriers (financial and otherwise) to complete a degree or certificate program. By making the dream of attending and completing college a reality for Nashville State students, we provide students with a means of increasing their career potential, household income, and quality of life while also producing a skilled and talented workforce to meet Middle Tennessee’s economic needs.
