We enjoy a unique ability to tailor our work to your charitable goals. Whether you want to address a specific need, endow a specific charitable organization, provide a scholarship, or give to our Unrestricted Impact Fund, we can help. We also enable you to establish the equivalent of a Private Foundation, a charitable nest-egg for you and your children. No matter what you have to give, you can start or add to something special. This flexibility combined with the information here on GivingMatters.com can empower you to have an impact on the issues and opportunities you care about most.

CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Our goal is to help our community thrive. The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee's work revolves around enabling people to understand the opportunities of our community and to have an impact on the issues they choose. To that end, we help endow the present and future by making giving comfortable, convenient and cost-effective, knowing that without a ready supply of charitable dollars our community will be unable to move quickly to make good things happen. We work to support nonprofits and the people they serve by 1) sending support based on applications we receive from organizations seeking to address emerging needs; 2) accepting and investing gifts to endow the future of specific non-profits and forwarding approximately 5% to them each and every year; and 3) by allowing people who care to set aside money when it makes sense for them in order to use it now and later to support a variety of charitable causes and organizations. We convene collaborations to address opportunities such as our work with United Way of Metropolitan Nashville, the CNM and others to foster and then fund nonprofits working to reduce their administrative costs; or our work with the District Attorney and the Police Department to combat gun violence; with the Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Chamber, the CMA, the Airport and a host of others to help local arts organizations earn income; or with all of the major Funders, through GivingMatters.com, to help donors give with confidence. And we work extensively with individuals, families, corporations and professional advisors to serve as a resource as they explore their options for giving with meaning. |
