Each day, we will bring you a photo of the day, showcasing the sights of Williamson County (and beyond). Whether it’s a photo of a local landmark, a park, a photo from an event or just a great photo from the area, we want to showcase our local communities throughout the next year.
Photo of the day: Impact100 Nashville, an organization that inspires women to make transformative changes in their community through collaborative philanthropy, announces it has awarded $218,000 in Transformation and Innovation Grants to four local nonprofit organizations. Members of Impact100 Nashville awarded $100,000 each to A Step Ahead Foundation and Tennessee Justice Center and $9,000 each was awarded to Friends Life Community and Nashville Diaper Connection.
