CLARKSVILLE, TN – CDE Lightband and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) partnered to match funds totaling $30,000 for Clarksville’s Imagination Library and $20,000 for The Salvation Army through TVA’s Community Care Fund. TVA gave local power companies, including CDE Lightband, the opportunity to identify organizations or local initiatives in need for which they can seek the matching funds. With an initial $2 million pledge to match the valley’s local contributions, TVA’s Community Care Fund launched in April 2020 to help address hardships created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the success of the first initiative, TVA doubled its matching funds up to $4 million.
