Giving Back: How the Morrell Property Collective Supports Our Tennessee Community

At Morrell Property Collective, real estate is about more than buying and selling homes; it’s about investing in people, strengthening communities, and creating lasting impact. We are beyond honored to share that we have donated more than $472,000 to nonprofit organizations that support families, health, housing, education, and wellness both locally in Tennessee and nationwide.

Each year, Katie Morrell donates 10% of her earnings to nonprofits that hold a close place in our team’s hearts. Giving back is a core part of our mission, and we are deeply grateful to our clients because of you, we can make meaningful contributions year after year.

As a Tennessee real estate team rooted in service, we believe strong communities are built through compassion, generosity, and action. Below are some of the organizations we are proud to support.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Nashville

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Nashville provides a vital “home-away-from-home” for families with seriously ill or injured children receiving medical care in Nashville hospitals.

The Nashville Ronald McDonald House offers 24/7 accommodations, private rooms, home-cooked meals, laundry facilities, play areas, and emotional support — allowing families to stay close to their children during incredibly difficult times. Their work ensures families can focus on what matters most: their child’s health and healing.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville partners with local families to make affordable homeownership a reality through new home construction and education.

Families work alongside volunteers to help build their homes and purchase them with affordable mortgages. Habitat also operates local ReStores, where donated home goods are sold to fund their mission. Their work strengthens neighborhoods and expands access to safe, stable housing — a cause that resonates deeply with us as real estate professionals in Tennessee.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research

The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research is dedicated to ending Parkinson’s disease through groundbreaking scientific research.

The foundation funds and accelerates high-impact studies, supports clinical trials, and provides trusted education and resources for individuals and families affected by Parkinson’s. It also engages the global Parkinson’s community in advocacy and fundraising efforts to drive progress toward better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

The Heimerdinger Foundation

The Heimerdinger Foundation provides nutrient-dense, immune-boosting meals and nutrition education to people facing cancer and their caregivers.

Through its Meals 4 Health and Healing program, the foundation delivers organic, healthy meals free of charge, helping families focus on recovery rather than food preparation. Volunteers play an active role in meal prep, delivery, and outreach, supporting the foundation’s belief that food is medicine.

The New Beginnings Center

The New Beginnings Center is a women-only nonprofit gym and wellness organization in Nashville, dedicated to empowering women to improve their physical, mental, and emotional health — regardless of income or ability to pay.

More than 85% of participants complete the center’s 12-week transformational program at no cost. Through fitness training, nutrition guidance, mental wellness coaching, and community support, New Beginnings helps women build sustainable, healthy lifestyles and long-term confidence.

Alzheimer’s Association

The Alzheimer’s Association is the leading nonprofit organization in the U.S. focused on ending Alzheimer’s disease and all other dementias.

The organization advances global research, promotes early detection and risk reduction, and provides extensive support services, including a free 24/7 helpline, local programs, education, and caregiver resources. Their advocacy and research funding are critical in the fight against dementia and in supporting families navigating this challenging journey.

Save The Music Foundation

Save The Music Foundation is dedicated to restoring and expanding music education in public schools, particularly in underserved communities.

Since 1997, the foundation has donated tens of millions of dollars in instruments, technology, and educational resources to schools across the U.S. By supporting sustainable K–12 music programs, Save The Music empowers students, enriches learning experiences, and helps ensure every child has access to the transformative power of music.

The Next Door Recovery

The Next Door Recovery is a Tennessee-based, faith-driven nonprofit providing comprehensive addiction treatment services for women struggling with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health challenges.

Their continuum of care includes medically monitored detox, inpatient and outpatient treatment, and transitional re-entry services. Through evidence-based therapy, 12-step programming, and spiritual care, The Next Door empowers women toward lifelong recovery and renewed hope.

Mind What Matters

Mind What Matters supports family caregivers of individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other memory-related diseases.

The organization provides respite grants to help caregivers get much-needed breaks, shares brain health education, and raises awareness about the emotional and physical toll of caregiving. Their mission focuses on reducing caregiver burden while improving quality of life and promoting dementia awareness and prevention.
