MISSION - WHAT WE DO

The Community Foundation’s mission is to enrich the quality of life in Middle Tennessee. We provide flexible and cost-effective ways for civic-minded individuals, families and companies to contribute to their community – now and for all time.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

Our vision is to help people feel good about giving, no matter the amount, no matter the cause. We ensure both the excellent stewardship of donor funds and the wise investment of grants in the 43 counties of Middle Tennessee and Kentucky we serve. We draw on the deep roots of philanthropy, and we’re focused on helping people find creative and entrepreneurial ways to help the community thrive.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

When you come to The Community Foundation with a charitable dream or idea, we help ensure you meet your goals efficiently, effectively and with meaning. Services for the Community We build community in new ways, partnering with other funders, non-profits and government to identify and address Middle Tennessee’s needs. Regional work on training nurses, GivingMatters.com, www.NowPlayingNashville.com, addressing gun violence, assisting in nonprofit mergers, and paying heating bills for the elderly and disabled are a few of our initiatives. Services for Givers 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. Services for Professional Advisors Our goal is to help you help your clients help their community. It’s as easy as that. Whether you are writing a Will, assisting with the sale of a company, or exploring ways to help your clients minimize their taxes and maximize their ability to help, The Community Foundation provides arrows for your quiver, tools you can use. The Foundation also offers an online resource – the Planned Giving Design Center (www.pgdc.com) which provides you the latest philanthropic news and up-to-date tools as you work on your clients’ behalf. Services for Nonprofits We write three types of grant checks to non-profit organizations. Additionally, we help nonprofits communicate the breadth and depth of the work they do through GivingMatters.com, and our latest online resource, www.NowPlayingNashville.com which includes a community calendar on which nonprofits may share their upcoming events. NowPlayingNashville.com An initiative of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, NowPlayingNashville.com is a community project with a growing list of civic-minded partners as well as more than 300-plus Arts & Cultural Organizations throughout Middle Tennessee. NowPlayingNashville.com is a comprehensive online events calendar featuring information about music, theatre, sports, dance, museums, kids and family activities, film and festivals, and many other entertainment options. Created with the goals of audience development for arts and entertainment venues throughout Middle Tennessee and promoting cultural tourism in our region, the website centralizes and provides one-stop access to event and ticketing information that both residents and visitors will find extremely useful.
