The organization's functions include:

- working with the Tennessee Municipal Bond Fund, which assists local governments in obtaining funding for capital projects.

“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
