Grounds for Hope exists to ENERGIZE faith in outreach by uniting businesses, churches, and nonprofits to share their stories of faith in action. Created by the Trideum Foundation, it celebrates and honors those who serve others through their faith.

Through our partnership with Billy Smiley’s Music City Collective, we INSPIRE by transforming stories of faith into powerful songs. We sponsor concerts to raise funds, honor outreach efforts, and ignite faith through music.

With Mission Increase, we provide engaging conferences to EQUIP faith-driven organizations with the tools and knowledge to maximize their community impact.

Our awards event recognizes and honors those making a difference. Through these events, we provide grants to faith-inclusive outreaches, helping them continue their mission of hope, love, and service.

At Grounds for Hope, we celebrate, support, and empower those who put faith into action.
