About Us
Franklin Tomorrow is an independent, community-visioning nonprofit created in 2000 by a group of forward-looking business and community leaders to safeguard the attributes that made Franklin special then for future generations.
About Us
Our mission is to engage the community, foster collaboration, and advocate for a shared vision for the future of Franklin. Through our research, programs and engagement with citizens, that shared vision is for Franklin to be a city with vibrant neighborhoods, a robust economy, distinct character and great people.
During our 20-year history, Franklin Tomorrow has contributed to the quality of life for those who live, work and play here by engaging in thought-provoking discussions and building civic pride in our community.
With few exceptions residents believe that Franklin offers a high quality of life and they rate this aspect as the most important factor affecting their decision to live in the community. As an organization, we develop and present programs such as our quarterly Breakfast With the Mayors or monthly FrankTalks lecture series which educate and illuminate issues facing the community as a whole. We have an active social media presence which helps us to collaborate with other organizations in the community which are contributing to the overall quality of life in Franklin.
Additional programs like Get Fit Franklin and the Exemplary Community Volunteer Awards engage the community and shine a spotlight on positive aspects of the community.
We invite you to join us at future events and to become engaged in Franklin Tomorrow, but more importantly in your town, Franklin, and with the people who live, work and play here!
