Established 2015

When the Ascend Ampitheater opened in 2015, two charitable streams of money were created. One provided support to the Metro Parks Department. The other, the Ever Green Fund, was created to support broader efforts to protect and sustain green spaces in Davidson County. This Fund is funded in part by a mechanism detailed in the management contract between the City of Nashville, which owns the amphitheater, and entertainment giant Live Nation, which operates the venue. Under the agreement, the Fund receives 50 cents from the sale of each ticket sold for shows at Ascend.
