Centerstone Foundation, Inc.

Mission Statement

Centerstone has evolved significantly over our 68-year history. We’ve expanded our services, our geography, and our partnerships and affiliations – all to serve people and families in our communities. While our organization has changed and expanded, our singular focus on delivering care that changes people’s lives has not; it’s our noble purpose – our mission – that drives us each and every day.

Gifts to Centerstone provide tremendous opportunity in the lives of children, youth, adults and families seeking a path to wellness, ensuring access to care regardless of medical coverage. Our donors and funders help advance care and health outcomes for individuals and families who are experiencing mental health and substance use issues. Funding also provides direct support for key clinical initiatives, including advancing evidence-based treatments into our care.

Working with individual donors, businesses and grant-making organizations, Centerstone’s Foundation works tirelessly to ensure life-changing care is accessible to the children, adults, and families who need it most. By cultivating meaningful relationships, and through good financial stewardship, our Foundation amplifies charitable gifts made to Centerstone, making certain we have the maximum impact on those we serve.

Bordeaux Hospital Advocates, Inc.

Mission Statement

In 1993 a group of people organized the Bordeaux Advocates to specifically provide extras for the people who lived at Bordeaux Hospital that were not in Metro Nashville’s budget. When Metro Nashville stopped the day to day operations at Bordeaux in 2015, we then worked with lessee Nashville Community Care & Rehabilitation Center at Bordeaux (formerly Bordeaux Long-Term Care and Bordeaux Hospital). With the recent complete closure of Bordeaux by Metro Nashville at the end of 2020, we are now working with the J.B. Knowles Assisted Living and Adult Day Care facility which is located in the same complex as Bordeaux Hospital. We look forward to providing some of the same kinds of activities and extras that we did at Bordeaux for so many years.
