About Us

About Core Values Our Team

“Us” includes you – our amazing community of support.

In 2018, your generosity supported over 25 kids as they fell in love with reading, increasing their chances of High School graduation. You encouraged kids’ confidence in the kitchen (and themselves) while they learned to bake delicious treats through Hope Bakes. You equipped 70 entrepreneurs with the tools they needed to turn an idea into a money making reality – which had a $1.5 Million economic impact on neighborhoods often seen as under-resourced. You established Script to Screen – a new program that inspired kids to appreciate their voice, write their own script, and create their own movie. You invested in relationships of hope and connected neighbors to Bible studies and communities of faith.

#ConnectInvestGrow

Corner to Corner does not adhere to an “Us and Them.” We believe that we are all equally in need and have gifts to offer. We encourage this mindset among everyone who interacts with Corner to Corner through the philosophy #connectinvestgrow.

At Corner to Corner we encourage everyone to become part of the fabric of their neighborhood and connect with each other. We believe in the Ministry of Consistency and that happens by showing up for each other, just as we are, day in and day out. And we also seek to connect Justice with Truth, Love, and Grace.

We invest in each other’s lives, hurts, hopes, and dreams. We commit our messes in the hope that God’s power is made perfect in Our weakness. We collaborate, instead of compete, and celebrate each other’s victories as a win for our community. We invest our unique resources and experiences into our relationships, with the knowledge that there is intrinsic value in both.

Growth only happens together. We grow in knowledge, relationship, and community. When we grow together, our world becomes bigger. Together, we grow in our Need and Understanding of Jesus and the Gospel. Together, we grow out of our comfort zone and into our faith. We recognize that we are All in need, and together, we move forward in Hope.

About the Acuffs

Corner to Corner was founded by Will and Tiffany Acuff in 2011. Based on their core belief that Jesus and Generous Justice go hand in hand, Will and Tiffany sought to create a faith-based nonprofit that focused on both.In partnership with the McFerrin Park Rec Center and key support from City Church of East Nashville, the first program they began was aimed at equipping former offenders with the skills they needed to gain meaningful employment and an invitation to discipleship. Since those early days Corner to Corner has grown to have programming in 5 communities, all in vital partnership with neighbors.
