Bridges for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is a Nashville, Tennessee-based nonprofit focused on advancing access, equity, and inclusion for D/deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hard of Hearing communities. It pursues these aims through advocacy, education, empowerment, and facilitating effective communication, backed by a broad slate of services. Since its founding in 1927, the organization has served Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky and has extended its reach to West and East Tennessee through BridgesWEST (2017) and BridgesEAST (2024). Its programs address barriers in a hearing-majority world by providing after-school activities, wellness classes, case management, sign language interpreting, and community education for both children and adults. The organization operates in the nonprofit sector centered on improving accessibility and inclusion for its communities. A recent development is a partnership with Griffin Art Gallery in Jonesborough aimed at expanding access to the arts for BridgesDHH constituents.
