The Nashville Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities provides grants to nonprofit children's organizations in middle Tennessee. Through fundraising events and activities, the chapter supports work that helps children overcome obstacles, access opportunities, and lead productive lives. Its grantmaking focuses on three pillars: critical needs, medical care, and education.
Critical-needs priorities include victims of sex trafficking, children experiencing homelessness, orphans, children in foster care, and food security. Medical priorities include illness, dental needs, disability, and therapy. Educational priorities include tutoring, literacy, and after-school programs. Priority consideration goes to organizations helping children experiencing homelessness, orphan and foster populations, and victims of sex trafficking, though all eligible organizations are encouraged to apply.
