CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Voting has finished, and we now have finalists for Clarksville’s Best Nonprofit Organization: Angel Fund and Youth Villages.

These two finalists will now compete in a two-week online fundraiser to see who can raise the most money for their group.

Angel Fund benefits the animals at Montgomery County Animal Care and Control, assisting animals with injuries or special needs with veterinary and other services to prepare them for rescue or adoption. Click here to make your donation to Angel Fund.

Youth Villages provides free foster parent training, monthly reimbursements to help offset the costs of adding a child to your household, and ongoing, 24-hour support. Click here to make your donation to Youth Villages.

Each nonprofit will keep what they raise, of course, but the one who raises the most will be the Gold winner and receive $24,000 in free advertising from 5 Star Media Group. The Silver winner will get $12,000 in free advertising.

The fundraiser competition will end on Friday, Oct. 9, at 6 p.m., and the winner and runner up results will be announced on Nov. 19, along with all the other winners from the Clarksville’s Best contest.
