Connections
fuel growth.
Friends of Illuminate Academy exists to support the mission of one of Nashville's most extraordinary learning environments โ a place built specifically for neurodivergent kids to thrive.
Built to support something special.
Friends of Illuminate Academy is the nonprofit arm that makes the mission possible. Founded in 2018, we raise funds, rally community, and make sure the kids at Illuminate Academy have everything they need to not just learn โ but thrive.
Illuminate Academy has spent twelve years building a learning environment where neurodivergent kids are understood, supported, and celebrated. We exist to fuel that work.
We're raising $60,000 in 30 days to build a sensory-friendly playground for our kids. Seven zones designed for how neurodivergent kids actually move, regulate, and connect. Opening June 5th with a ribbon cutting and popsicles on the playground.
Our Board
Friends of Illuminate Academy is governed by a dedicated board committed to our mission.
