We are making an impact in Nashville.
4:13 Strong officially launched as an independent nonprofit in 2015 after initial incubation from the YMCA of Middle Tennessee. Since then, we have given hope and a plan to hundreds of men, and they have paid it forward to their families and to Nashville.
Why This Work Matters to Nashville
The Legacy of a Second Chance
The impact of our work extends far beyond the men who walk through our doors.
$9.2 million
in avoided incarceration expenses
Every man who builds a stable, productive life represents a reduced burden on the criminal justice system and a stronger future for our community.
$5.1 million
in positive payroll value
Participants and graduates stimulate local economic activity through purchases of rent, groceries, transportation, clothing and other consumer spending, which results in tax generation, job creation and long-term economic stability in Nashville and across Tennessee.
Engaged Fathers
Most of all, hundreds of children and families have experienced the positive impact of having an active father and husband in their lives, which has immeasurably reduced the risk of broken beginnings in Tennessee. These fathers are giving their children the choices they never had, breaking toxic cycles and providing stability to branch upon branch of their family trees.
Transformation
Real Life Change That Multiplies
When you invest in these men, you don’t just change individual lives. You change households. You change neighborhoods. You change our entire city.
Make an Impact With Us
Real change takes people willing to step in and stay committed.
The men of 4:13 Strong are doing the hard work to rebuild their lives through discipline, accountability, and perseverance. That progress is made possible by supporters who choose to invest in lasting transformation. Will you help us create stability, opportunity, and hope that extends far beyond one individual?
