We have had a modest beginning. Tennessee Stands began four years ago as a result of a mad dad wanting to keep masks off of his kids and battling the local school board to where we are today as the most influential homegrown, conservative grassroots organization in Tennessee. We do the research, keep you informed on legislation, advocate for liberty, and provide you with tools to become an informed, engaged, effective citizen advocate. Our most effective way to win is to continue to be able to educate and communicate across this great state.
Tennessee Stands has grown fast, and our reach has been tremendous as the message of individual liberty and limited government has resonated with Tennesseans. Our donors’ support has been vital to our success, as Tennessee Stands does not receive public funds, grants, or corporate money. We are 100% funded by people like you, with an average individual donation right under $100 recurring monthly. This is a grassroots movement of the people and for the people.
The financial gifts of our donors are vital in equipping us to deliver the message of constitutional principles and conservative values by supporting our operations. Thus, we can continue the essential work of preserving liberty.
Since 2020, we have successfully increased our audience and reached impressive numbers.
Our website has had over 436,000 unique visitors and over 2,500,000 page views. Our traffic has been 100% organically reached with no money spent on acquisition to our website.
We have sent over 3,000,000 weekly emails with content and engagement opportunities, including over 150 produced videos, to our email subscribers.
We have over 60,000 followers on social media, which have yielded 1,900,000+ video views and reached over 60,000 hours of watch time.
The Freedom Matters Podcast airs weekly and is now nearing 5,000 downloads, with almost 10,000 monthly listens, including streams via the website. The podcast has also been organically grown with $0 advertising dollars spent.
Why is this important? These numbers demonstrate Tennessee Stands’s impact in educating and activating people like you. It is an impressive accomplishment on a minimum grassroots budget! With limited resources, we have taken great strides. Can you imagine the impact we can make in Tennessee with an increased reach? We can. With a minimum increase in financial support, we believe our reach could double, significantly impacting our ability to influence and effect legislation for ‘We the People.’
We know you are engaged. You watch videos and read commentaries. You may even be connected to a local group or volunteering. Understanding that we all have unique circumstances and different challenges, we believe that we all have a role to play. We are asking you to get behind us financially so that we can grow our professional team in the coming year.
If our followers gave a minimum of $5 a month, we could increase Tennessee Stands’ impact and exponentially increase our influence for constitutionally conservative values in Tennessee.
No gift is insignificant. The work ahead is great, and the time is now. We need your partnership so that together, we can continue on mission to secure Tennessee. It is time to grow our small, modest team and our tools to advance our impact further.
In Liberty,
Gary Humble | Executive Director | Tennessee Stands
