The Healing Trust has offered Healing for the Healer Retreats since 2008 as a way to say thank you to helping professionals in our community. In response to the needs of our grantee partners, we’ve made a few updates. 

We are offering a complimentary series of workshops that are designed to help nonprofits create more racially diverse and equitable organizations. The workshop topics include staff and board diversity, community engagement, organizational policies and programs.

The purpose of the program is to provide opportunities for connection and relationship-building between peers, which is difficult to do in a virtual setting and in the presence of so many other distractions. We are hopeful that it will be safe to meet in-person in the summer and are shifting the timeline of the program from January-December to July-June. Applications for the program will be available on our website mid-April 2021.

Join us in welcoming Abby Siegel Hyman to our team! Abby began as an intern at The Healing Trust and has joined us part-time as our Program Assistant.  Catherine Smith has added Mental Health grants to her work and Samuel Jackson continues to manage Physical Health grants.

Congratulations to the 18 nonprofits that were collectively awarded $784,100 in our most recent cycle! Recipients of the grants include non-profit organizations from 40 counties in Middle Tennessee that focus on advocacy, physical health, mental health, recovery from substance abuse or healing from abuse, neglect, and violence.  This year’s grants bring the collective grantmaking of The Healing Trust to over $95 million since 2002.
