NASBA Center For Public Trust 
Ethics Matters
May/June 2019
The Big Payback is a 24-hour online giving event created to increase philanthropy across middle Tennessee. This year’s campaign surpassed the event’s previous one-year record, raising $4,106,182. In total, 964 non-profits participated across 36 counties, with missions ranging from human service, education, community improvement, arts and culture, to youth development, animal welfare, health, housing and shelter, and the environment. Since its inception in 2014, The Big Payback has raised $16,606,182 for local non-profits.
The NASBA Center for the Public Trust (CPT) team participated in the annual Plaza Party in front of Bridgestone Arena, celebrating the annual giving event, mingling with other nonprofits, and spreading the good news of the CPT. While the CPT supports students and professionals nationwide, The Big Payback is a great avenue to spread our mission at the local level, especially with seven StudentCPT chapters within middle Tennessee. The Big Payback is made possible by The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.
