About Tennessee Fisher House Foundation

The Tennessee Fisher House Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the Tennessee Fisher House and the families who stay there during times of medical need.

Medical treatments often require veterans to travel long distances and remain in hospitals for extended periods. For families, this can create emotional and financial stress. The Tennessee Fisher House Foundation works to ease that burden by supporting a welcoming, home-like environment where families can stay close to their loved ones without worrying about lodging costs.

Every donation and volunteer effort helps maintain the house, provide essential supplies, and ensure families experience comfort and support during difficult times.

The Tennessee Fisher House Foundation began with a vision to support military families across the state. Originally formed in 2007 as the Middle Tennessee Fisher House Foundation, community leaders and supporters worked tirelessly to raise awareness and funds to build a Fisher House in Murfreesboro.

In 2010, the organization was officially registered as the Tennessee Fisher House Foundation, Inc., continuing its mission to support the house and the families who depend on it during medical crises. Since then, the foundation has partnered with individuals, organizations, and businesses across Tennessee to ensure the house remains a place of comfort and care for military families.

Our Mission is to be dedicated to the enrichment of the quality of life of active duty military, veterans, and their families who stay at the Tennessee Fisher House while a loved one is undergoing extended medical treatment at the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System or VA approved facility.
