Amy Fair is the Director of Philanthropic Services at the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee (CFMT), where she oversees and manages relationships with individual donors, foundations, corporations, and government partners. She uses her expertise and knowledge of philanthropy to oversee complex gift transactions and legacy giving, offer support to families engaged in multi-generational giving, and develop content and tools for donors.

Amy has worked for nearly 25 years with donors who have partnered with their local community foundation to achieve their charitable giving goals and establish legacy gifts for the future. Amy began her work in community foundations at the Columbus Foundation in Columbus, Ohio. There she worked with several multi-generational families and a few corporations staffing their charitable foundations where she managed grant programs, facilitated board meetings, and created family giving activities. Attending graduate school at Vanderbilt University brought Amy to Nashville, where she began her first role with the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. During her most recent tenure since 2011, original roles have remained, while others were added to help expand the philanthropic footprint of the Community Foundation, including work on public/private partnerships with Metro Nashville, supporting donors with charitable estate planning, and helping to open more than 170 charitable funds to benefit the Middle Tennessee community and beyond.

Amy’s time away from the office is spent enjoying Nashville’s greenways, Metro and State Parks, and the broad range of arts and cultural events available in the community. She is also an active donor and fundholder with the Women’s Fund’s Girls Give Initiative and a founding member who has also served on the grant committee of Impact100 Nashville, a women’s giving circle that has given away more than $1.2 million over the last decade. Amy is a graduate of the Ohio State University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in English. She is also a graduate of Vanderbilt University, where she earned a master’s degree in Education with a focus on Institutional Advancement.
