REIMAGINE NASHVILLE GIVING CIRCLE

CHANGE STARTS HERE

We are the ones we've been waiting for

We know the struggles are real and times are challenging in Middle Tennessee. Because we feel it, too. Even in the midst of what’s happening around us, there is hope to be found in coming together to invest in our future.

Whether you were born here or chose to move here, the Nashville area is the place we call “home.” And at ReImagine Nashville, we believe in creating a home that’s welcoming, inclusive, and equitable for all especially.

Founded in 2021 by a committed group of Nashvillians, we are focused on creating a more equitable, just, and inclusive community. We are regular people focused on creating systemic change by supporting the BIPOC-focused nonprofits making a difference in our community.

WHY A GIVING CIRCLE?

Amplify Your Impact

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or concerned citizen, we know the demands on your time are great. Through ReImagine Nashville, you can take action through the power of giving by joining like-minded parents and people who are donating to our Giving Circle.

The ReImagine Nashville Giving Circle combines the monthly investments (whether $25 or $2,500+) of donors like you. By pooling our investments, we can make a larger impact within Nashville.

In fall 2023, we funded two new nonprofit organizations supporting the Nashville area.

LET'S LAUGH TOGETHER

Comedy Night

ReImagine Nashville presents a night of celebration and comedy featuring The Bad Momz of Comedy (as seen on The Kelly Clarkson Show) hosted by Kelly Bandas.

Join us Wednesday, May 1 at The Lipstick Lounge in East Nashville from 5-7pm for a night of laughs! Doors open at 5pm, where we will recognize the incredible work of Middle TN nonprofits doing the work of fostering and promoting racial equity in our area. The comedy show will begin at 6pm. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. Please note: this is a 21+ event.

A portion of all ticket sales goes to ReImagine Nashville, which exists to give bi-annual grants to organizations working towards racial equity in Middle TN.

Every Donor Has Flexibility in How They Give

Legacy Collective offers the convenience of giving online with a credit card through the links below thanks to our partners at Pure Charity. You can also establish monthly ACH payments through the links below on the 1st and 15th of each month. You have the option during enrollment of covering the 5% processing fee through Pure Charity.

You are also able to give directly to Legacy Collective and save the 5% processing fee so that those funds can be used towards grants given to our nonprofit partners. If you are interested in paying with a check, setting up monthly bill pay, a monthly ACH on a different time of the month, or wiring funds, please email rngc@legacycollective.org so that we can share our banking information with you.
