About Will Acuff
Corner to Corner was founded by Will and Tiffany Acuff in 2011. Compelled by the invitation of Jesus to ‘love our neighbors as we love ourselves,’ Will and Tiffany sought to create a relationship-centered nonprofit that focused on seeing neighbors flourish on their own terms. At Corner to Corner, that love of neighbor takes the form of educational and economic equity, creating a city where all can thrive.
In partnership with the community, the first program was aimed at equipping the justice-involved with the necessary skills to gain meaningful employment. Since those early days, Corner to Corner has grown and expanded programming throughout Middle Tennessee, all in meaningful partnership with neighbors.
