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. Dennis Greeno & Joan Signorille Scholarship Fund Dennis Greeno and Joan Signorille both benefited personally and professionally by having college educations. Dennis received his opportunity through the GI Bill, and Joan was fortunate to have parents able to fund her education, though she did have to work to help defray costs. They both want to make sure that students with academic potential are neither left behind due to a lack of finances nor burdened with crippling loan debt. One or more scholarships will be awarded to Davidson and Sumner County students who have academic merit and financial need.
