The Hamilton County Schools Foundation is a nonprofit philanthropic partner dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities and excellence for all public school students. The private company is based in Chattanooga, TN. The foundation collaborates closely with schools to support initiatives beyond the district’s budget by mobilizing community resources and relationships. Key programs include the HCS Teacher Supply Hub, a free store where teachers can obtain classroom supplies twice per semester, funded through donations and sponsorships from local businesses and community members. The foundation also offers scholarships, hosts events such as the annual HCS Heroes Award Luncheon, and organizes service initiatives like the Better Together Day of Service. A notable project is the Roland M. Carter Arts Centre renovation at the Howard School, aimed at creating a state-of-the-art arts facility for students and the wider community.

Tivoli Theatre Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in 2015 to preserve, manage, and revitalize three historic Chattanooga venues: the Tivoli Theatre, Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Auditorium, and the Walker Theatre. The private company is based in Chattanooga, TN. The foundation’s mission is to maintain these venues as cultural attractions that enhance community life through entertainment, educational programming, and arts accessibility. The Tivoli Theatre is undergoing restoration to preserve its historic features and improve accessibility, creating the new Tivoli Performing Arts Center, which will include the Bobby Stone Theatre for independent films and events. During renovations, events are held at the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Auditorium and the Walker Theatre, which has recently been upgraded. The foundation encourages public support through donations, naming opportunities, and mailing list subscriptions.
