INTO REALITY CAMPAIGN

PARTNERS FOR PROGRESS

Not everyone can participate in the Entrepreneur Center’s “Turing Ideas

into Reality” Campaign by making a transformational gift. Thus, to provide

individuals or businesses a meaningful way to be part of the success of

this effort, a collaborative effort, Partners for Progress was formed.

Partners for Progress allows people to make a collective leadership gift.

By partnering with others, partners can have a significant impact, and play

a major role in the success of the campaign.

Partners for Progress is one of the Campaign categories for giving. There are

five subcategories under Partner gifts:

Founding partners up to $250,000 over three-years

Senior partners up to $200,000 over three-years

Junior partner up to $150,000 over three years

Equity partners up to $100,000 over three years

Associates up to $50,000 over three years

To recognize their collective contribution, partners will be invited to an

annual event that celebrates the convergence of Nashville’s entrepreneurial

spirit and the partner’s commitment to the success of the EC. At this event

all entrepreneurs will celebrate the successes of the Center.

With your help, the Entrepreneur Center can maintain its position as a

national prototype while continuing to provide vital resources for those who

are creating sustainable jobs for our city and state.
