New landing page for the Foundation at CFMT.org
Our friends at the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee (“CFMT”) have designed a special landing page at https://cfmt.org/ibmafoundation/ for all nine of the IBMA Foundation endowment funds that CFMT hosts and administers for us.
Revenue from these endowment funds ensures that Foundation scholarships and grants will be supported for generations.
