WHO WE ARE

ORIGIN STORY

Since 2012, 510 Foundation has been actively serving the Nashville community, born out of a vision to expand outreach ministry through Nashville First Church of the Nazarene. Cal Turner Jr., former owner of Dollar General, believed strongly in our mission and provided the initial investment that helped launch the organization. Since then, we've grown to support six local ministries and two international initiatives.

MISSION

510 Foundation exists to support faith-based, educational, and community development organizations in Nashville and around the world over the long term, through the legacy of generous gift-givers and granters, for the purpose of serving others, including some of the most vulnerable, to change the trajectory of their lives.

<b>FUTURE HOPES</b>

FUTURE HOPES

Our vision is to ensure that 510 Foundation is no longer the best-kept secret in Nashville—but a well-known beacon of hope, service, and transformation. We are building a community where every child, student, and family feels seen, supported, and empowered through our 8 ministries.

As we continue to grow, we are actively seeking additional resources, partnerships, and grant funding to expand our impact across the city. With increased support, each of our ministries will be better equipped to meet the evolving needs of our community—whether it's through youth programs, education, outreach services, or faith-based initiatives.

Together, we believe we can spark meaningful change in Nashville—one life, one family, one neighborhood at a time.
