NASHVILLE-The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee has distributed more than $900,000 in grants to 198 nonprofit organizations in 30 Middle Tennessee counties as part of The Foundation’s annual grant making process.  

Maple Grove School received a $1,000 grant to upgrade its library. 

“As needs in Middle Tennessee grow, the work of our nonprofit partners to provide vital services and innovative programs has never been more important,” said Ellen Lehman, president of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. “The Foundation is honored to connect generosity with need through our annual grantmaking, and congratulates nonprofits on their efforts to improve quality of life for our community.”

Maple Grove School is the smallest public school in Tennessee and is located on the east side of Clay County, separated from the rest of the county by Dale Hollow Lake.   

“Although we are small in number, our students and staff are devoted to carrying on Maple Grove’s tradition of excellence,” said Maple Grove principal Jerry Collins. “New books in our library will help us in our efforts to do so.”
