About United Fund of Cumberland County

United Fund of Cumberland County backs a tightly local portfolio built around Cumberland County residents and the agencies serving them. The recent record shows repeated support for Hilltoppers Inc. in Crossville, with awards of $28,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, alongside continuing grants to Avalon Center and Christian Counseling Center. That pattern points to a funder that stays with core community providers over time rather than moving across a wide geography. Its grantmaking is aimed at human services, health and wellness, education, and financial stability, with scholarship support also part of the mix. The foundation’s active grant programs show both outcome-based and non-outcome-based options for 501(c)(3) human service nonprofits, including a separate scholarship program for Cumberland County students. Recent grants also reach organizations such as Second Harvest Food Bank in Maryville, Kids on the Rise in Crossville, and the Cumberland House hospice program, showing a blend of direct service support across food, counseling, youth, and care services.
