ABOUT

Tennessee Nonprofit Network (TNN) is thrilled to announce another cohort of TeamUp, an initiative designed to empower your organization to grow. TeamUp offers two distinct statewide learning cohorts – one focused on fundraising excellence and the other on mastering volunteer management.


Why TeamUp?


Running a successful nonprofit requires a strong foundation in both fundraising and volunteer engagement. TeamUp goes beyond basic workshops, providing in-depth training, resources, and dedicated support to help your organization reach new heights. Here's what participating nonprofits can expect:



  • Tennessee Nonprofit Conference: All participants who successfully complete the program will join others at our 2026 Tennessee Nonprofit Conference in Nashville in later 2026. Participants will gather for a special pre-conference session followed by access to the full conference. Expenses including travel, hotel, and conference registration will be paid for 100 participating nonprofits to participate in the full conference the day after the pre-conference session.


  • Peer Learning: Join monthly virtual peer learning sessions to unpack the course materials, and join regional meetups for additional peer learning opportunities. Travel stipends are available for regional meetups for rural participants.


  • Completion Grant: Participants who complete the program and meet all requirements will receive a $250 completion grant.


Investment in Your Impact


TeamUp is a unique opportunity to elevate your skills, strengthen your organization, and ultimately, maximize your positive impact on the community. This comprehensive program is offered exclusively to TNN members. (Email us or login to verify your membership.)
