Tennessee Open For Business is a free program for Tennessee small businesses that pledge not to discriminate against their employees or customers on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. That means that member businesses do not discriminate against gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender individuals or couples or do harm to the LGBTQ community.  Members will get a listing on our website, a post on Facebook, and a window cling suitable for display in their storefront. The program is made possible through generous support of the Brooks Fund of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

The Tennessee Equality Project reserves the right to refuse membership in this program to any applicant and to revoke the membership of any business.

You can see a list of some of the current members of Tennessee Open For Business at this link.

Giving Tuesday, a nationwide day of giving following Cyber Monday, is coming up on December 2.  TEP is asking our friends to give $10 or more on that day to engage new donors and encourage existing donors to support us with their year-end giving.  But we need VOLUNTEERS to help make it successful.  We specifically need volunteers to help spread the word about this link .  You can get the long form here:  http://givingtuesday.razoo.com/story/Giving-Tuesday-For-Equality-In-Tennessee .
