Description
The Women's Fund, managed by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, supports nonprofit organizations dedicated to empowering women and girls in Middle Tennessee.

The Fund seeks to drive long-term, systemic change, prioritizing smaller organizations with a majority of their work focused on women and/or girls.
