To support charitable, scientific and educational purposes designed to improve the general health of the residents of Clarksville, Montgomery County, the five surrounding counties of northern Middle Tennessee, and Fort Campbell, KY by awarding one-year grants that address health behavior, clinical care, social & economic factors, and the built environment.
Clarksville-montgomery County Community Health Foundation Inc focuses on one-year grants that improve health through four drivers: health behaviors, clinical care, the built environment, and social and economic factors. Its grantmaking is tightly tied to Clarksville, Montgomery County, the five contiguous counties of northern Middle Tennessee, and Fort Campbell, KY, with grants aimed at charitable, scientific, and educational purposes. The foundation’s recent awards show a clear mix of health infrastructure, direct service, and community support. Aspire Clarksville received two of the largest grants in the file for greenway development, including $800,800 in 2024 and $545,000 in 2025. Other sizable awards went to Clarksville Firefighter Found for $495,100 in 2025 and to The Youth Coalition for substance abuse prevention and a SCORE project. Health-related institutional support is also part of the pattern. Austin Peay Foundation received funding for nursing education, medication management, and speech and swallowing work, while Cumberland Heights Foundation received a clinical care grant. The portfolio includes meals, ADA-compliant park work, and social services, showing a funder that backs community health from several angles rather than through a single service model.
Built environment projects are a visible part of the portfolio. Aspire Clarksville received $800,800 in 2024 and $545,000 in 2025 for greenway development, indicating repeated support for public access infrastructure. In behavioral health and prevention, The Youth Coalition received $137,815 in 2023, $94,980 in 2024, and $102,860 in 2025 for substance abuse prevention work, plus $71,655 in 2025 for a SCORE project. That pattern points to sustained support for youth-facing prevention efforts. Clinical and workforce-related grants also appear. Austin Peay Foundation received $365,000 in 2023 for nursing education, $62,325 in 2024 for med management, and $50,245 in 2024 for speech and swallowing services. The foundation also supported Cumberland Heights Foundation with a $50,000 clinical care grant in 2024.
Typical grants cluster around a median of $50,000, with a lower quartile of $22,750 and an upper quartile of $97,254. The file shows both larger capital-style awards and many mid-sized operating or project grants. Grantmaking appears to recur across years for several recipients, including Aspire Clarksville, The Youth Coalition, Manna Cafe, Austin Peay Foundation, and Erin Rotary Foundation Inc. The foundation operates an annual grants program, and applicants can submit unsolicited requests. The structure is a community health foundation rather than an individual-giving or program-related-investment vehicle.
