The school district offered space and renovation funds were secured by the College of Nursing from: the Ronald McDonald House Charities, Thompson Charitable Foundation, Lucille S. Thompson Foundation and Cornerstone Foundation.

Several community organizations contributed, among them, the University of Tennessee technology grant, University of Tennessee's Office of Community Partnerships, National Association of Pediatric Nurse Associates & Practitioners (NAPNAP), East Tennessee Lion's Club, and the "Open Airways Program".
