The Organization
Created by a group of civic leaders in 1991, The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee (CFMT) was founded on the belief that a foundation for the community could play a vital role in identifying and supporting critical needs. The Community Foundation is a tax-exempt public charity serving the 40 counties of Middle Tennessee and three counties in Southern Kentucky.
Over the years, thousands of individuals, families, and companies have partnered with us to find ways to contribute and achieve their personal philanthropic goals. Today, The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee oversees nearly 1,500 funds serving the broadest range of needs and has received more than $1.4 billion in cumulative contributions.
The generosity of their donors and contributors, who trust in their philanthropic leadership to invest funds wisely for the benefit of our region, has made possible The Community Foundation’s grantmaking of more than $1.1 billion to community programs and institutions over our 31-year history.
