Making an Impact: Greater Clarksville region

Houston, Montgomery and Stewart Counties

The Greater Clarksville region, encompassing Houston, Montgomery and Stewart counties, is a vibrant and growing area known for its rich history, natural beauty and strong sense of community. This region offers a unique blend of urban amenities and rural charm. The area’s diverse economy, thriving military presence at Fort Campbell and abundant recreational opportunities make it an ideal place to live, work and explore. We are committed to working with local communities, businesses and organizations to continue building a prosperous future for the Greater Clarksville region.

A look at our work.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
Each year, United Way volunteers help thousands of low-income and at-risk taxpayers prepare their taxes through the VITA free tax prep program. In 2023, we offered in-person and virtual VITA tax prep throughout the Greater Clarksville region.  

Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program
The TBRA program helps very low-income families, the elderly, domestic violence victims, and aged-out foster children afford safe housing while providing case management and referrals to services like credit recovery and mental health support. The goal is to empower recipients to achieve self-sufficiency through a holistic approach. 

Adopt a Family
Clarksville area families who need assistance this holiday season can apply for adoption and will be given the opportunity to list reasonable gift ideas and needs for each family member. Sponsors can choose to adopt a family based on size: Small (1-3 people), Medium (4-6 people), or Large (7+ people). United Way will then match sponsors with a family and will give sponsors the wish list from their adopted families. 

United We Dine
Local eateries team up with United Way to raise funds for 150-plus local nonprofit partner agencies serving those in need across the nine counties we serve. The community can help by eating at any of the participating restaurants and vendors. 

Days of Action
United Way’s Days of Action are community-wide volunteer opportunities. Each year, thousands of volunteers come together to support our work and improve the lives of our most vulnerable neighbors through initiatives such as Stuff the Bus and Give Thanks. In 2023, $3,000 was provided for Stuff the Bus supplies and $3,000 was supplied for Give Thanks gift cards. 

211 Helpline
The 211 Helpline is a 24/7, 365-day information and referral help line that provides individuals in need with help in times of crisis and beyond. Serving 42 counties in Middle Tennessee, our 211 Helpline is staffed by trained specialists and supports a database of more than 10,000 health and human service programs.

Funded Partners

Our Community Impact Funding process mobilizes resources to provide results-oriented funding to 21 nonprofit agencies serving the Greater Clarksville region. Funding recommendations are made by a dedicated group of community volunteers and are approved by our board of trustees. In 2023, we put $500,000 back into the Greater Clarksville region through our Community Impact Funding.
