Our History

Foundation Group’s story began in 1995 in Nashville, Tennessee, when Greg McRay founded the company with a simple mission: make the nonprofit journey clearer, easier, and done right. From the start, the focus was on helping purpose-driven organizations build strong foundations—so they could spend less time untangling paperwork and more time changing lives.

Year after year, Foundation Group grew alongside the sector it serves, earning the trust of thousands of nonprofits across the country. What started as a small team became a steady, expanding resource for organizations navigating every stage of the lifecycle—from formation and tax-exemption to ongoing compliance and dependable bookkeeping. The work has always been the same at its core: bring expert guidance, practical solutions, and a calm hand to complex requirements.

In November 2025, Foundation Group took its next major step forward by joining forces with BryteBridge Nonprofit Solutions, based in Winter Park, Florida. This partnership was built on shared values, similar service mix, and a common belief that nonprofits deserve both high-touch support and modern, scalable services. As of January 2026, the two organizations have fully merged into one company, creating an even stronger platform to support the nonprofit community.

Today, that combined team includes more than 100 professionals who have served over 50,000 nonprofit clients across the past 30 years. It’s a milestone worth celebrating—but more importantly, it’s a promise: to keep evolving, keep improving, and keep showing up for the organizations doing the work that matters most.
