The 2020 Census

/

The 2020 Census is just around the corner.  It’s crucial that we understand why it’s important and just what’s at stake for Middle Tennessee and the rest of the state.

2020 Census data will be used to determine how $675 billion in federal funding will be allocated to state, county, and community-based programs around the country.  An undercount would have a dramatic negative impact on our nonprofit partners working in education, as well as those working with marginalized youth and promoting wildlife conservation.

As nonprofits, you are the trusted allies in your communities and can play a unique and important role in ensuring that all people are counted – and that everyone counts.

Maddox Stands for Refugees

/

The Maddox Fund sent a letter to Governor Bill Lee with our local funding partner The Healing Trust urging him to continue the refugee resettlement program in Tennessee. Refugees are fleeing conditions of terror, war, and extreme levels of poverty. We stand with refugees and our nonprofit partners working tirelessly to support them.

Meet Aleyda!

/

In 2018, the Dan & Margaret Maddox Charitable Fund celebrated its 10-Year Anniversary.  As part of the celebration, we made three $10,000 grants for nonprofit organizations to create fellowship positions that give young people the chance to be meaningfully engaged in nonprofit work.

One of the nonprofit organizations to receive this grant is FiftyForward, a Nashville-based nonprofit organization that works toward improving the life of those 50 and over.  Aleyda is originally from New York but has been in Nashville for the past seven years.  She graduated from Overton High in 2014 and is currently a senior at Middle Tennessee State University.  She’ll be graduating this May with a Bachelor’s in Social Work. 

For her fellowship, Aleyda spends her time helping at the FiftyForward Station on Rains Avenue.  One of the most surprising things for her was just the amount of work needed to make a nonprofit function while meeting its mission.  Aleyda is exposed to a lot of different experiences and is building on a variety skills.  As a bilingual speaker, she is uniquely positioned to contribute to FiftyForward’s work and is doing outreach in Nashville’s aging Latinx community. 

Aleyda is thankful for FiftyForward giving her this opportunity.  At the end of her fellowship, Aleyda sees herself continuing to work in the community and hopes to pursue a masters degree in social work or public health.

Maddox Stands for Accessible Opportunities for All Students

/

Since 2008, the Dan and Margaret Maddox Charitable Fund has been partnering with nonprofit organizations that are working to improve the lives of young people in Middle Tennessee.  Core to our values is knowing that education and knowledge are transformative.  Understanding this as an education funder, we feel that Educational Savings Accounts (ESAs) will be a detriment to ensuring that all children can access high-quality educational opportunities.
