Nashville Adopt A Meter Program
$1,000 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY

  • Be a part of the solution and help Nashville end homelessness by sponsoring a meter for $1,000 annually. The Adopt A Meter Program is designed to increase awareness on our city streets about The Key Alliance’s strategic initiatives to end homelessness.
  • All proceeds from Nashville’s Adopt A Meter Program will go directly to fund outreach workers that build caring relationships with homeless individuals and connect them to services and housing. Nashville currently has six full-time outreach workers assisting the roughly 4,000 individuals and families who are homeless on any given night. This initiative is a way citizens can be a part of the solution and channel funding directly to solutions that will help the homeless in our community.
  • Meters will be placed in prominent city locations that have a high volume of foot traffic with the sponsor’s logo displayed on the meters to show the sponsor’s support of this initiative.
  • The Key Alliance has formed several collaborative partnerships to help build the Adopt A Meter Program:
    • Metro Public Works is providing 30 parking meters to refurbish, is offering advice on strategic locations, and is assisting with the installation of the meters.
    • The Mayor’s Office will participate in a public relations campaign to promote the Adopt A Meter program in Nashville.
    • The Arts & Business Council of Greater Nashville is collaborating with us on using homeless and formerly homeless artists to create permanent sculptures that will be attached to the meters. These colorful works of art will display the creative talents within our community and draw more traffic to the meters.
  • The City of Denver implemented a similar meter program in 2007 and now has 86 meters displayed that generate more than $100,000 annually. The meters have effectively educated the public about the need to support the city’s solutions to end homelessness.
