SERVING TENNESSEE'S SENIORS
administered by The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee at the request of the Chancery Court
GRANTS AWARDED TO 121 ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH THE SERVING TENNESSEE'S SENIORS PROGRAM
The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, a charitable organization dedicated to enriching our quality of life, is pleased to announce grants to 121 Tennessee organizations as part of a one-time Serving Tennessee’s Seniors grant opportunity. Funding of Serving Tennessee’s Seniors was provided by the Chancery Court and administered by The Community Foundation through the settlement of a lawsuit initiated by Tennessee Attorney General Bob Cooper against both SeniorTrust and ElderTrust. We are most grateful for the opportunity to share these 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.
