The Patricia Hart Society is a vibrant group of dedicated United Way supporters, of all ages and backgrounds, who share a passion for the mission of United Way and to the Greater Nashville community.

Named for Patricia Hart, a Williamson County resident and longtime community volunteer, the Patricia Hart Society provides opportunities for its members to lend their time, talents and energy to supporting United Way’s early childhood education and literacy work. While comprised primarily of female supporters, the Patricia Hart Society is open and welcoming to all, with a minimum annual gift of $500 to United Way of Greater Nashville. We currently have 350 members who donate more than $450,000 to our work annually.

“Extraordinary things happen when women come together.” –Patricia Hart
