Make a Gift or Start a Fund

It’s about taking what you can give and making it meaningful for both you and those who will ultimately benefit. It’s not about the size of the gift; every gift matters.

Give to support a cause, address an issue or help a charitable organization. You can start your own fund, give to an existing fund, or give directly to Middle Tennessee nonprofits.

Leaving a Legacy

There are a variety of ways to leave a legacy through The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

Learn more about the Fitz Family, pictured at left, and their legacy, here.

Whether you are planning a bequest, gift of life insurance, or another type of gift, we work with you to provide tailored giving options. While the types of charitable gifts may differ, the effect is the same: helping those in need in a way that has meaning for you.

The resource below was created to help professional advisors guide people through the thoughtful planning process that leads to legacy gifts. Whether or not you have a professional advisor, we hope you'll use these resources to learn about the different ways you can create a charitable legacy.

When you entrust The Community Foundation to connect your generosity with need, we honor your wishes in perpetuity.
