THEI is a non-profit organization based in Nashville, TN that works to disrupt cycles of harm and create opportunities for autonomy and success by providing the resources and access needed for incarcerated individuals across our state to earn college degrees. We work inside three prisons, and we support our students post release as they transition back to their free-world communities.

This year, we are thrilled to let you know that the very first cohort of students at our West TN program site is on track to graduate in 2021. These scholars have been striving for greatness since their college journey began in the fall of 2016; truly, you have never known a group of students to work harder or more diligently. If you have a few dollars to contribute to helping us throw the graduation event they so richly deserve, please make a gift to this campaign today.

*A gift of $50 will help cover the design and printing of custom-made graduation announcements and programs.

*A gift of $100 will help cover the hiring of an event photographer, so that our students and their loved ones can remember this very special occasion.

*A gift of $500 will help cover the purchase of hand-engraved plaques for the winners of our Academic Excellence award and our Faculty Appreciation award.

*A gift of $1000 will help cover the cost of dinner and (graduation cake!) for our graduates and their families.

Let's show these gentlemen how hard we're rooting for their success! Thank you in advance for any amount you are able to share. Happy Holidays.
