Why do we need financial support?
As a leading social services provider, we serve our neighbors regardless of faith tradition, with a staff from many religious backgrounds – not just Catholic. Only five percent of our revenue is provided by the diocese and church donations. Financial support from corporations, foundations, and individuals is critical to meeting the needs of our neighbors. Please support the ongoing work of Catholic Charities by participating in Festival of Hope. Many of our neighbors need your help. By joining us, you give them love, hope, and healing.
Please contact Judy Orr at jkorr@cctenn.org or 615-760-4419 for more information on sponsor levels below or to discuss customized sponsorship and participation opportunities.
