The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee announced Thursday $784,569 in grants to Davidson County nonprofit organizations as part of its annual grantmaking process.

The foundation, which works with nonprofits in 40 Middle Tennessee counties, in 2012 distributed more than $1.3 million to 273 nonprofit organizations throughout 29 Middle Tennessee counties.

“The Community Foundation is honored to connect generosity with need through these annual grants and others throughout the year, but we couldn’t have an impact without the accomplished nonprofits offering solutions to our community’s needs and vital services to our neighbors,” Ellen Lehman, Community Foundation president, said in a release. “Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we are able to invest in the solutions to Middle Tennessee’s emerging needs and opportunities.”
