Fund for Food Security

UNRESTRICTED IMPACT FUNDEntrusting The Community Foundation to find the best

ways to support multiple community needs

This gives us the chance to provide funding that supports great local nonprofits’ solutions to community needs. Your gift to this fund powers the source of our annual grant awards — each year, a diverse and dedicated group of Middle Tennessee charities receive grants to help fuel their programs.

ANGEL FUNDHelping people at critical intervention points in their lives through the on-the-ground work of local public servants

We sometimes take for granted that $75 or $200 can go a long way in someone’s life. Through The Angel Fund, we entrust grants from this fund to nonprofit leaders, to find the right points of investment in Middle Tennessee to help individuals overcome a hurdle. For example,

give a new pair of shoes for a child in need or new tires to get to work without worry.
