The Nashville Drug Court
Support Foundation, Inc.
(NDCSF)
21
• Established in 1996
• The mission: to help generate support and
provide direct service support for the Davidson
County Drug Court (DC4) and educate others
about the link between substance abuse and
crime.
• DC4 utilizes an “integrated court model”
combines supervision and treatment for addiction
and co-occurring mental health disorders while
still holding the offender accountable for their
criminal behavior.
• The goal is to reduce incarcerated populations,
and lower recidivism rates and societal costs
associated with repeat offenders who suffer from
addictive disorders.
Nashville Drug Court Support Foundation
22
• Works in collaboration with current DC4
participants and alumni to provide drug and
alcohol abuse and education programming to
hundreds of youth each year.
• Partners with the Davidson County Mental
Health Court to help provide residential
specialty court program services to participants
in the Mental Health Court Program.
• Works with agencies and stakeholders at the
federal, state and local levels to help increase
public awareness about the link between crime
and substance abuse disorders.
• Believes that if such issues are adequately and
properly addressed that social, criminal and
economic costs (including healthcare) could be
reduced commensurately.
Nashville Drug Court Support Foundation
23

Fundraisers that Work
 Local restaurants who will give you a % of an
evening’s income (Guy Fieri – Diners, Drive-ins
and Dives, Panda Express)
 Mark L, the comedian
 “Community cards” from local grocery chains
 Have a “rent party” to raise rent money to give
to participants
84
Plus a Few More Ideas
 Create your own “a-thon”; walk, ride bicycles,
jump, or Zumba!
 At Christmas or birthdays ask your family and
friends to donate to your drug court fund rather
than buy you presents.
85
Planned Giving
Ask people you know who are committed to
drug courts to include your fund or foundation
in their estate planning!
86
Most Important Thing for You to
Remember When Raising Money…
 You have to ask for what you need and after
you’ve asked…be quiet.
 Let the person who received the question be
the next person to speak.
