Think Tennessee

Based in Nashville, ThinkTennessee is a new nonpartisan think tank dedicated to developing and promoting ideas that move their state forward. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Think Tennessee brings together leaders from throughout Tennessee who believe that facts matter and that moderate, pragmatic voices should play a prominent role in shaping public policy.   The organization comes from many sectors—business, academics, law, medicine, government—and from both sides of the political aisle. The organization is united by the conviction that facts matter and that moderate, pragmatic voices—the kind that have served their state well for generations—should play a prominent role in shaping public policy. Policy is more than just rhetoric and politics. It shapes roads and bridges, schools and neighborhoods, healthcare and taxes. It impacts individual's right to vote. Making good policy is critical to making Tennesseans’ lives better. And that’s where ThinkTennessee fits in. The organization's work blends top-notch research and policy analysis with a drive to get this information into the hands of policymakers, the media, nonprofit organizations and citizens.
