The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, a charitable organization dedicated to enriching the quality of life in the 40 Middle Tennessee counties it serves, has announced more than $1.65 million in grants to 265 nonprofit organizations as part of the foundation’s annual discretionary grant-making process.
Paul’s Clinic has received a $10,000 grant from the Patricia & Edward J. McGavock Humane Treatment of Animals Fund of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. This grant will be used to sterilize 200 pets from low-income households. 
“The work of our nonprofit partners has never been more important as we watch needs emerge and evolve in this community,” said Ellen Lehman, president of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. “The Community Foundation is honored to connect generosity with need through these annual grants and other avenues throughout the year, but we couldn’t have an impact without the array of quality nonprofits offering solutions to our community’s needs and vital services to our neighbors.”
The Community Foundation awards discretionary grants annually from its unrestricted and field-of-interest funds, through an open application process, to Middle Tennessee nonprofits organizations addressing community needs and benefiting the well-being of citizens through valuable programs and innovative services.

Paul’s Clinic was incorporated in 2005 and received nonprofit status in 2006. The clinic board is composed of volunteers who are dedicated to making Paul’s Clinic a success and an asset to the counties served.
The clinic’s goal has always been to help individuals take care of their pets.
