Fresh Faces of Philanthropy 2025
In our ever-changing city, there are individuals who are writing a new story — working tirelessly to elevate the nonprofit community and those it serves. Last year, we introduced the first class of Fresh Faces of Philanthropy — consisting of board members and volunteers 45 years old or younger — who dig in each day, with sleeves rolled up, to make Nashville a better place to live, work and play.Â
This year, the response to our call for nominations was overwhelming, and we had to make some difficult decisions. But we whittled down our list to 12 service-hearted trailblazers who lead with purpose, creativity and commitment to our city.Â
Allow us to present the next class of Fresh Faces of Philanthropy.
