Shortly before their deaths in 1998, Dorothy Cate and Thomas F. Frist Sr., began the process of establishing funds to create a lasting charitable legacy involving their children and grandchildren. In their words, “We hope that this foundation will be an important and permanent source of support for charities in which our family is interested and that our descendants take an active interest in the foundation and guide its activities wisely. We therefore encourage our children to look for ways that their own children … and their families can always continue our tradition of being generous and responsible supporters of worthy charities.” These funds empower three generations of the Frist Family to perpetuate and grow the tradition of thoughtful and meaningful generosity exemplified by the lives and values of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Frist, Sr.
Established in 1998
