Tom Tom Foundation

We believe in building strong communities through collaboration and connection. By uniting civic leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, and engaged citizens around a shared vision for their cities, we strive to foster thriving and inclusive hometowns.

Tom Tom began in the spring of 2012 as a community festival — bringing people together to celebrate the creativity and entrepreneurship of Charlottesville, Virginia. The following year, the Tom Tom Foundation (a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization) was formed to steward the event and expand its focus to a fuller suite of themes required to make flourishing, opportunity-filled hometowns.

We believe finding solutions relies on having conversations, and that’s what we do best. By bringing multi-sector leaders together to discuss the innovative (and often undersung) solutions, we’re helping facilitate the collaborative path forward that our hometowns need most.
