From disaster recovery, employee assistance, support of the nonprofit community and ability for donors to customize their giving, The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee has proven to be great stewards of philanthropy in the greater Nashville area.
Review from Guidestar
As a victim of the Nashville floods in May 2010, I approached the Community Fund several times about getting assistance. They were worthless. They've taken in millions in flood-specific donations, but I don't know of one person in my flooded area of Bellevue that received a penny from them. They way they've mismanaged this has changed the way I will give in the future. Going forward, if I know of someone personally affected by disaster, I will give to them directly. I may not get a tax deduction, but I will at least know for sure that the money went to someone that needed it, and needed it now. Lord only knows what the CF is doing with their stockpile of cash.
