What is The Big Payback?
The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee’s “The Big Payback” is a 24-hour, online giving event created to increase financial contributions to local non-profits in the 40 counties of Middle Tennessee. The goal is simple – inspire Middle Tennesseans to come together, show their pride in their communities, and contribute to support the life-changing work of local nonprofit organizations.

Thank You
Thank you for your support! In 2021 we raised $3,041!
IN 2022 OUR GOAL IS $5000!
THE BIG PAYBACK, an annual giving day for local non-profits, is returning on Wednesday, May 4. The fun starts at 6:00 pm and continues until 6:00 pm on May 5. Bell Garden is excited to participate and join in on the fundraising event that unites Middle Tennessee each year!
Why Give?
It’s clear to see the impact of THE BIG PAYPACK.
From 2014 through 2021, Middle Tennesseans have come together to raise more than $25 million from a total of 180,583 donations for more than 1,000 nonprofits, schools, and religious organizations.
In 2022, we are setting our sights on reaching $5000 raised during the giving day to refurbish our greenhouse which is one of the most important areas of our garden. We hope you’ll join us and support BELL Garden on May 4-5
