Frist Foundation Doubles Its Initial Gift to Expansion Campaign

8/31/2018

Progress just received an additional $100,000 grant from the Frist Foundation toward the Capital Campaign, matching their previous lead contribution towards the project.  Pete Bird, President and CEO of the Frist Foundation, said, “We believe in Progress and the important work that you do.”  The foundation was one of Progress’ earliest supporters, in addition to being among the first donors to the Capital Campaign.

The Progress administrative currently houses twice the staff that it was intended to accommodate. With new programs, a growing staff, and the need for a larger conference and training area, space is at a premium. So a $1 million expansion was planned, never anticipating poor soil conditions and skyrocketing construction costs amid Nashville’s building boom.

The unhappy surprises boosted the project cost to $1.3 million, which prompted The Frist Foundation to come back with an additional gift. We now have $1,010,000 in case and pledges, but still need additional funds to reach our goal.

If you have already made a gift to the capital campaign, thank you. If you haven’t made a gift or would consider additional support, please consider this unique giving opportunity. All donors to the Capital Campaign will be listed on a permanent wall display in the new building. Additional naming opportunities are also available (see page 7), and all gifts, no matter the size, will be listed on a special wall display.
​
To make a lasting impact that will be celebrated for years to come, please consider helping us reach our goal. We cannot thank you enough.  

To make a gift to the Capital Campaign, please contact Kelly O'Connor at 615-577-4726 or K.O'Connor@progress-inc.org.
