Annual Fund First
Making a meaningful impact is at the heart of the Episcopal School of Nashville experience. Our community understands this deeply, and we are profoundly grateful for the generous support of those who believe in our mission to nurture curious minds, compassionate hearts, and confident voices.
ESN has created Annual Fund First, a bold yet simple message designed to educate, inspire, and prioritize philanthropic giving in alignment with our core mission as a diverse, urban, and independent school dedicated to nurturing the joy of learning and the spirit of discovery in each of our students.
Why "Annual Fund First"?
The Annual Fund is the financial backbone of ESN’s operations, directly supporting the people and programs that define our excellence. From faculty salaries and classroom resources to arts and academic enrichment, these essential elements are powered, in part, by unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund.
“Annual Fund First” underscores the message that this is the first and most important gift every community member should consider making each year. Before event sponsorships, auction items, or extracurricular contributions, gifts to the Annual Fund should be prioritized because it sustains and strengthens the very foundation of the ESN experience.
