Overview

About Us For over 30 years, Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee (CFMT) has been driving meaningful, positive change in our community. We do this by bringing together those who want to help and those who need help. Through the power of collective philanthropy, our goal is to amplify donor intent while remaining flexible enough to ensure that resources are directed to where they can do the greatest good. We know the greater Nashville area. We understand its neighborhoods, its most pressing challenges, its unsung nonprofit heroes, and its emerging partnerships with the greatest potential. As our region continues to rapidly change, that knowledge gives us a unique vantage point to bring people and places together to do what none of us can do on our own—build a more thriving and inclusive community. Mission Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee strives to build a more thriving and inclusive community — today and for generations to come — by transforming thoughtful generosity into positive change. Blakeford Scholarship Fund The Residents of Blakeford established the Blakeford Scholarship for team members and their dependents to honor the dedication and commitment of the team members at Blakeford, Inc. to the residents. Residents appreciate the employees’ work and want to provide opportunities to assist employees in continuing their training or education. The scholarship may assist any team members (part or full-time) or their legal dependent to seek additional training or education.
