CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| The Cheekwood Estate was an incredible gift to the community, providing Nashville with its own national treasure. However, as the estate was gifted without an endowment, the institution has often been financially challenged to meet annual operational goals while preserving its museum, historic structures, and gardens. To address this need, The Cheekwood Campaign was launched in 2016 to raise endowment, fund strategic projects, and provide resources for deferred maintenance to facilities and gardens. The campaign was completed in 2021 with $37M raised and Cheekwood's endowment has grown from $4.8M (pre-Campaign) to $21.7M, providing for a more secure financial future. Cheekwood's dynamic seasonal festivals, family-oriented programming and world class art exhibitions have generated record-setting attendance and support as well as positive operating results. Cheekwood has strong corporate funding partners and has increased foundation and government support over the past three years. Membership is at a record level with more than 20,000 member households. Cheekwood has been able to successfully navigate COVID-19 through steady attendance and the generous support of public and private funders. Blockbuster exhibitions such as Chihuly at Cheekwood (2020) and Sean Kenney's Nature POP! Made with LEGO® Bricks (2021) helped drive attendance. Additionally, our gardens have offered a welcome respite for residents and visitors looking for a safe, socially distanced activity. Despite the pandemic, Cheekwood maintained stable operations in 2021. |
