Johnson County Community Foundation

Since 2001, Johnson County Community Foundation has continued to grow and serve our community through grants, endowments and community leadership. We offer opportunities for nonprofits, corporations, families and individuals to protect and invest their charitable dollars in the people and the causes they care about in Johnson County. Our mission is to engage people, connect resources and inspire solutions that build Johnson County, so that this is the kind of place our kids will want to raise their kids.

We have awarded $887,124.01 in grants to nonprofit organizations in our communities. This includes Oark, Westside, Lamar and Clarksville schools; law enforcement agencies; local fire departments; agencies helping senior citizens; crime victims; at-risk youth; the hospital; food banks; drug abuse victims and a myriad of other services devoted to Johnson County and its people.
