Mission

Power the GOOD (#PowertheGOOD)

Focus

cityCURRENT strategically focuses on THREE things:

Philanthropy and Volunteerism

We align resources and efforts to make a collective impact in the community through financial contributions to nonprofits and turnkey volunteer opportunities that engage companies and individuals of all ages to physically give back.

FREE Public Events 

We make it easy for ALL citizens to come together, learn, and find inspiration by hosting FREE public events that, by design, bring all sides of our community together to foster collaboration.

Positive Media

We produce and share positive stories through an array of broadcast media to inspire individuals and organizations and to spread GOOD news and energy.

Overall, cityCURRENT focuses on serving the community and bringing organizations and individuals together to make a difference. In some capacity, we strive to work with every business, nonprofit, school, civic group, church, government entity, and organization in the Mid-South and Middle Tennessee. We strive to bring everyone together, to provide enrichment events, foster collaboration, and teamwork, champion positives, and empower philanthropy.
