GivingMatters.com Logo     

Get ready for a new look to debut in late summer 2014.

For the purpose of updating your profile, the functionality of the site will remain the same. What will change is how the site is presented to the public, and how they interact with it. New website features include:

  • A new logo and brighter color palette
  • A cleaner layout
  • A more prominent "Search" feature on the homepage
  • A nonprofit directory listing all organizations published on the site alphabetically
  • An enhanced "Learn" section highlighting important community issues
The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee's 2014 Discretionary Grant Application
 
Grantmaking is at the heart of The Community Foundation's work to enhance the quality of life in Middle Tennessee. CFMT's discretionary grants are awarded to respond to new programs, emerging needs, and innovative services for the benefit of our community, with a particular interest in proposals addressing currently unmet community needs and providing long-term solutions. Applications are accepted annually from tax-exempt nonprofits serving Middle Tennessee.  

Be on the lookout for the 2014 grant application, available in early June at www.cfmt.org/request/grants. Applications will be due August 1.   
  

As always, an updated GivingMatters.com profile is an essential part of your application! Need a refresher on updating your GivingMatters.com profile or navigating the online grant application?
