Your Gift Changes the Odds

For families working to escape poverty, moving forward can depend on whether they have access to the right supports at the right moment. That’s what your gift makes possible.

Whether one-time or monthly, your gift to the Martha O’Bryan Center invests in a proven model that treats every person as the expert on their life and puts the right resources in place when they need them most.

Here’s what your gift does:

$50 — School supplies for a child starting the year ready to learn
$100 — A week of meals and snacks for a child in our free summer camp
$250 — Coaching support for a caregiver building toward stability
$500 — A field trip, a career certification, or the enrollment deposit that keeps a college dream alive
$1,000 — Whole-family wraparound supports like coaching, resources, and community connection
$2,500 — Transformational housing or utility assistance that moves a family past crisis

Choose where your gift goes:

• Our General Fund is the most flexible and highest-impact option, gifts to our general fund support the people, programs, and partnerships of MOBC across education, employment, family coaching, and crisis assistance.
• Gifts to our Food Bank Fund provide essential meals and a sense of relief for families, children, and seniors.
• Gifts to our new Women’s Ladder Fund invest in the economic mobility of women through increased access to education, career pathways, and leadership development.

Your impact is generational.

Martha O’Bryan Center has worked alongside Nashville families for more than 130 years. We build supports around each family’s goals, remove barriers to economic mobility, and show up in the moments that matter most. Your gift provides the right resource in the right moment when everything is on the line.
