About Serving Tennessee Seniors
The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, a charitable organization dedicated to enriching our quality of life, administered grants to 121 Tennessee organizations as part of a Serving Tennessee’s Seniors grant opportunity in 2016.
We are most grateful for the opportunity to again distribute available funds with nonprofits serving seniors across the state.
“All across Tennessee, each and every day, nonprofits and governmental agencies are working hard to make the path easier for our growing but vulnerable senior population. From Lake County to Bradley County, from Memphis to Elizabethton, we know that the needs of our aging population are often unrecognized or underfunded,” said Ellen Lehman, president of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.
Funding of Serving Tennessee’s Seniors is provided by the Chancery Court and administered by The Community Foundation through the settlement of a lawsuit initiated by former Tennessee Attorney General Bob Cooper against both SeniorTrust and ElderTrust.
